Hi,
I need to blend an edge (PICTURE #1) in identical way shown in PICTURE #2(see the highlights in the attachemnt. No tangent propagation!
How should I do it?
Thanks!

It looks to me like you need to round the sharp corner (and all its tangencies) very slightly before adding the fillet that includes what you have highlighted
 
Do you mean like the example I've attached below?

Note that I used the 'Stop Short' option with that last blend and selected the point at the bottom of the vertical edge (where it meets the end of your orange curve in picture #1).

Sorry.....I didn't get it yet.......What steps should I follow? What option should I start with? Mmauldin, where could I find "Single Curve" ?.....
Thanks
 
Then you're going to need to provide a much clearer description/picture of exactly what it is that you expect that 'yellow' blend to look like.

I'm not at my workstation right now so I hope I get the correct phraseology, but look for a small dialogue box (mine is at the bottom of my screen, as shown circled in the original jpeg image) that most likely shows "Tangent Curves" when you activate the blend command. Click on the dialogue box and you will see a variety of selection options such as "Single Curve", "Connected Curves", "Tangent Curves", etc. Select "Single Curve" to limit your selection to just the edge you want.
 
Yes, but that will NOT result in a blend which looks like what mz7dyj is showing in "PICTURE #2". That's why I've asked for a better picture or a better description of what it is that he's looking for.
