Changing fillet behavior

By default table sections contain fillets. It is possible to change the behavior if the configuration variable SMC_TABLESECTIONNOFILLETS is defined (any value). The change only applies to IsmTableSections.

If set, the configuration takes control of the definition of the sections (IsmTableSection) that ISM creates from the time it is onwards. For instance, once an IsmSection is created, that definition is always used in the display of the element regardless of the Structural Fillets On/Off toggles. So if a section definition is created with fillets, the section always has fillets. If a section is created without fillets, the section never can have fillets.

An additional key in is provided to toggle between the "fillets on" and "fillets off" behavior:

Key-in: SMC SECTION PROPERTIES FILLETS < TRUE | FALSE >
