Options

The following options are available to perform your chamfer operation.

:DISTANCE - specifies the chamfer type where the cut applied to both faces to be chamfered is equal, producing a symmetrical chamfer about the chosen edge.
:NEW_DISTANCE - specifies the distance to be applied to both faces.
:DIST_DIST - specifies the chamfer type where two distances are applied, one for each face to be chamfered, producing a non-symmetrical chamfer about the chosen edge.
:NEW_DISTANCE1 - specifies the first cut distance.
:NEW_DISTANCE2 - specifies the second cut distance.
:REVERSE - reverses the cut values applied to the faces.
:DIST_ANGLE - specifies the chamfer type where a cut distance is applied to one face at an angle from this point, producing a non-symmetrical chamfer about the chosen edge.
:NEW_ANGLE_DIST - specifies one distance and an angle to remove material from, producing in a non-symmetrical chamfer about the chosen edge.
:NEW_ANGLE - specifies the angle of cut used for a non-symmetrical chamfer, producing in a non-symmetrical chamfer about the chosen edge.
:REVERSE - allows you to exchange the face that the cut is applied to.
:CHECK- performs a body checking operation, to ensure against creating a corrupt body.
:RESET- allows you to reset the input values for distance and angle.
:CHAIN - allows you to select tangentially-connected edges.
:LABEL_FDBK - gives feedback on the selected edge and associated angle.
:PREVIEW - allows you to preview the chamfered part and either, accept the new part, or return to the original.

When to use

Use this action to specify the chamfers required by your current part.

Example

The following parameter sequence chamfers a group of existing edges in one operation.
