Menu: Modify Chamfer
Toolbar: Modify

Summary
The distances and angles that you specify are applied in the order that you select the
objects.

You can chamfer lines, polylines, rays, and xlines.

You can also chamfer 3D solids and surfaces. If you select a mesh to chamfer, you can
choose to convert it to a solid or surface before completing the operation.

List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
(TRIM mode) Current chamfer Dist1 = current, Dist2 =
current

Select first line or

[Undo/Polyline/Distance/Angle/Trim/mEthod/Multiple]:
Use an object selection method or enter an option
First Line
Specifies the first of two edges required to define a 2D chamfer, or the edge of a 3D solid to
chamfer.
If you select lines or polylines, their lengths adjust to accommodate the chamfer line.
You can hold down Shift while selecting the objects to override the current chamfer
distances with a value of 0.
If the selected objects are line segments of a 2D polyline, they must be adjacent or
separated by no more than one segment. If they're separated by another polyline segment,
CHAMFER deletes the segment that separates them and replaces it with the chamfer.
If you select an edge on a 3D solid, you must indicate which one of the two surfaces
adjacent to the edge is the base surface.

Undo Reverses the

previous action in the command.

Polyline
Chamfers an entire 2D polyline.
The intersecting polyline segments are chamfered at each vertex of the polyline. Chamfers
become new segments of the polyline.
If the polyline includes segments that are too short to accommodate the chamfer distance,
those segments are not chamfered.

Distance
Sets the distance of the chamfer from the endpoint of the selected edge.
If you set both distances to zero, CHAMFER extends or trims the two lines so they end
at the same point.

Angle
Sets the chamfer distances using a chamfer distance for the first line and an angle for the
second line.
Trim
Controls whether CHAMFER trims the selected edges to the chamfer line endpoints.
NoteTrim sets the TRIMMODE system variable to 1; No Trim sets TRIMMODE to 0.
If the TRIMMODE system variable is set to 1, CHAMFER trims the intersecting lines to the
endpoints of the chamfer line. If the selected lines do not intersect, CHAMFER extends or
trims them so that they do. If TRIMMODE is set to 0, the chamfer is created without trimming
the selected lines.

Method
Controls whether CHAMFER uses two distances or a distance and an angle to create the
chamfer.

Multiple Chamfers the edges of

more than one set of objects.

18. FILLET
Rounds and fillets the edges of objects.

Access Methods

Button

Ribbon: Home tab Modify panel Fillet.

Close
Closes the multiline by joining the last segments
with the first segments.

Justification
Determines how the multiline is drawn between the points you specify.
 Top
 Zero
 Bottom

Top
Draws the multiline below the cursor, so that the line with the most positive offset is at the
specified points.

Zero
Draws the multiline with its origin centered at the cursor, so that the MLSTYLE Element
Properties offset of 0.0 is at the specified points.

Bottom
Draws the multiline above the cursor, so that the line with the most negative offset is at the
specified points.

Scale
Controls the overall width of the multiline. This scale does not affect linetype scale.
The scale factor is based on the width established in the multiline style definition. A scale
factor of 2 produces a multiline twice as wide as the style definition. A negative scale factor
flips the order of the offset line—the smallest on top when the multiline is drawn from left to
right. A negative scale value also alters the scale by the absolute value. A scale factor of 0
collapses the multiline into a single line.
For information about the multiline style definition, see MLSTYLE.

Specify axis endpoint of ellipse or [ Arc/ Center/
Isocircle]: Specify a point or enter an option

Axis Endpoint
Defines the first axis by its two endpoints. The angle of the first axis determines the angle of
the ellipse. The first axis can define either the major or the minor axis of the ellipse.

Distance to Other Axis

Defines the second axis using the distance from
the midpoint of the first axis to the endpoint of the
second axis (3).

Arc
Creates an elliptical arc.
The angle of the first axis determines the angle of the elliptical arc. The first axis can define
either the major or the minor axis depending on its size.
The first two points of the elliptical arc determine the location and length of the first axis. The
third point determines the distance between the center of the elliptical arc and the endpoint
of the second axis. The fourth and fifth points are the start and end angles.

Center
Creates an ellipse using a center point, the endpoint of the first axis, and the length of the
second axis. You can specify the distances by clicking a location at the desired distance or
by entering a value for the length.
 Distance to Other Axis
Defines the second axis as the distance from the
center of the ellipse, or midpoint of the first axis, to
the point you specify.

Rotation
Creates the ellipse by appearing to rotate a circle about the first axis.
Move the crosshairs around the center of the ellipse and click. If you enter a value, the
higher the value, the greater the eccentricity of the ellipse. Entering 0 defines a circle.

Isocircle
Creates an isometric circle in the current isometric drawing plane.
NoteThe Isocircle option is available only when you set the Style option of SNAP to Isometric.

Radius
Creates a circle using a radius you specify.
