A new option called Minimal was added to the Fillet Setbacks tab. Select the Minimal option so the system can define the minimum allowable setback for a given vertex.
This option often provides the smoothest transition and increases the probability of solving difficult vertex fillets. Let’s take a look at working with setbacks. 
One of the new options in Inventor 2009 is the ability to automatically calculate the minimum required setback distance in muli-radius fillets. This can be used to create the smallest fillet area possible when intersecting multiple radii at one vertex.
Take a look at the example video:

One of the features that you may have read about when Inventor 2008 was released was a new "Face Fillet" option in Inventor's usual Fillet command. The face fillet option will allow a fillet to be created between two faces that don't even share a common edge! If you haven't seen the new tool in action, take a look at the following video for a quick example:
