Fillet size script

I’ve really been pushing our engineering department to think DFM (designing for manufacturability) and one of the issues that surfaces repeatedly is the fillet sizes used on a model. The smaller the inside fillet, the smaller the tool required to machine it, so up go the costs. I find myself constantly checking fillet sizes to see if we can make them bigger, or just go sharp to utilize an endmill. Currently if the fillet has a square edge I just use the Radius command and pick the edge. But when the fillet looks like this it requires extra steps:

Has anyone written a script that allows them to just pick on the surface and it returns the radius at the command line? I think that’s what I need to make this easier.

Thanks,

Dan
