Chamfer

This button switches on the mode for creating a chamfer with similar lengths.

In this mode the Length 2 parameter is unavailable.

This button switches on the mode for creating a chamfer with different lengths.

This button switches on the mode for creating a chamfer by length and angle.

In this mode there is a Corner parameter instead of the Length 2 parameter.

Length 1

The first length of the chamfer. This field is used also to specify chamfers with similar lengths.

Length 2

The second length of the chamfer.

Angle

Angle of the chamfer.

This button temporarily closes the dialog box to permit measuring the chamfer length and angle on the drawing. The Value picker dialog box appears to perform measurements.

This button switches on the mode for cutting of full contour lines.

This button switches on the mode for cutting of partial contour lines before their intersection.

This button switches on the mode without lines cutting.

This button temporarily closes the dialog box to permit copying of properties from created chamfers.

This button switches the automatic dimensioning mode on/off.

Build auxiliary lines – the switch that controls the display of an auxiliary line when dimensioning the chamfer.

Show at start

When this check box is clear, Chamfer dialog box is not displayed, i.e. it allows you to reconfigure the command to work in a non-dialog mode. For a repeated call of the dialog, select the prOperties option in the command line or in the context menu. Such mode of operation is convenient, when you have to frequently use the command without changing its parameters.

This drop list sets Object scale for dimension object.

Properties

The Chamfer dialog box opens to change the chamfer parameters.

neW

Finishes the creation of one group of chamfers and starts another. The command is applied when you need to create some chamfers with similar dimensions on one object and with the same dimensions on another object:

Fillet

Switches to the mode for creating fillets. The Fillet dialog box opens to specify the parameters for the fillet.

polyLine

Switches to the mode of making chamfers along a whole selected polyline.

Only segments with lengths which are more than chamfer length are processed.

It is recommended to specify the same values for both chamfer lengths.

This option is available for symmetrical chamfer.

Auto dimensions and cutting of countor modes are igrored.

?

Opens additional options for selecting objects.

Undo

Undoes the previous action in the command.

POlyline

Creates chamfers for all polyline vertices that are intersection points of two straight line segments. When the Trim > Trim mode option is set, the chamfer lines become new polyline segments.

Distance

Specifies the chamfer length from the intersection point of the first and the second objects. If both values are zero, then the selected objects or line segments are lengthened or trimmed to the intersection point. You can specify the length in the drawing or by entering a value in the command line.

ANgle

Specifies a chamfer along the length to the intersection point of the selected objects and the angle in the XY plane to the first object.

Trim

Controls the trimming of objects to chamfer lines.

Trim – selected objects are removed to the end points of the chamfer lines. If objects do not intersect the chamfer line, they are extended or trimmed before the chamfer line is added.

No trim – selected objects are not tirmmed.

mEthod

Selects the chamfer construction method.

Distance – specifies two chamfer lengths.

Angle – specifies the length and angle.

Multiple

Adds a chamfer to multiple sets of objects.

Specify first line or [?/Undo/Polyline/Distance/Angle/ Trim/mEthod/Multiple]:

Select the object or the desired option to set the parameters.

Specify second line or press Shift to select or [?/Distance/Angle/mEthod]:

Select the second object or use the Shift key to form an angle in the crosspoint. To change parameters, select the required option.
