Drawing Chamfers
Creo Elements/Direct Drafting allows you to draw and modify chamfers in your drawing using Chamfer.
By default, the corner is deleted after the chamfer is drawn. If you do not want the corner to be deleted, click the Keep Corner check box in the Engineering group on the Drafting tab before you choose a Chamfer button.
To draw a chamfer:
1. Click Drafting and then, in the Engineering group, click the arrow next to Chamfer.
2. Click the required Chamfer button and perform the associated procedure.
