- the toolbar in fillet mode contains a "Snap at:" spinbutton with
units
I don't know why, but this seems a little odd to me, although the end result would be ok. I still like the idea of being able to type in a numberical value, and all my fillet circle helpers change to reflect the new value. (I'm not proposing to allow the user to do more than one different radius in a single zap of this tool.)
I'm now thinking of a modal toolbar, that you can toggle in and out of with the fillet-button. See this link:

How would that be?
We definitely are going to need a special toolbar for filleting if we're going to support chamfers etc. We won't have enough space to fit all the functionality in without crowding the normal node-edit toolbar.

Rather than having "Apply" and "Cancel", just let the user toggle in and out of fillet mode; any changes made in fillet mode are permanent like any other changes. In HIG terms, "Apply/Cancel" is usually deprecated over live update/editing anyway.
Yes, the only problem being how to combine numeric radius specification with the live update - and see my other mail just sent for an idea of how this can be done via snapping.
