ProTools for Solidworks

The DogBone Fillet Tool.

Automate the dogbone relief step that sits between CAD and CAM. Select your geometry, choose a fillet type, and generate clean, cutter-ready corners — fully editable, in seconds.

How it works

Three steps from part to prepped.

No macros, no manual sketching. The tool lives in your feature tree and works the way Solidworks already does.

STEP 01

Select geometry

Pick a body, a face, or just the edges that need relief. The tool reads your selection instantly.

STEP 02

Choose dogbone type

Standard, Minimal, Long Edge or Short Edge — set the cutter diameter and preview the result live.

STEP 03

Generate & edit

Apply it as a live feature. Re-roll, suppress or adjust at any point without rebuilding from scratch.

Four dogbone types

The right relief for every corner.

Standard

The classic dogbone relief — balanced clearance for general machining.

Minimal

Fully adjustable, smallest-footprint relief where material matters.

Long Edge

Relief biased along the longer edge for cleaner side walls.

Short Edge

Tight relief on the short edge for constrained pockets.

Flexible geometry

Apply it exactly where the cutter needs clearance.

By Body By Face By Edges

Fully editable after the fact

Every dogbone stays live in the feature tree. A late design change never means redoing the prep — adjust the diameter, suppress, or re-roll and rebuild.

Cutter-diameter presets

Save the tools you actually run and reuse their settings across every part — consistent relief, zero re-entry, fewer mistakes on the shop floor.

Get to machining faster.
