Zoomed in. Notice the
area where the end
points of the lines do
not meet.

3. Fillet the two lines that do not meet together with a zero radius; type FILLET, press Enter, R,
and press Enter to select the radius option. Type 0 and press Enter to set a zero fillet radius.
Finally, click each of the two lines to join them in a perfect corner (see Figure 5.3).

WARNING If you do not follow “clean” drafting practices in CAD, your job in Photoshop will be
much harder. It is best to spend some time in CAD cleaning legacy drawings before working on them
in Photoshop.
4. If you are going to continue working through the following sections, you can leave this file
open for now.

Fillet these two lines to
