Save time with FilletXpert

Here we are at the start of another fine week. On Friday, I announced a schedule change and today being Monday means that we will be discussing various tools, tips and tricks. One new tool in SolidWorks 2008 that I have been wanting to cover some time now is the FilletXpert.
