Chamfer Corner > Object - Object (Trim Menu)

This command can be used to trim two lines so that they form a corner which is immediately chamfered. The result will be several individual, separate objects.

After choosing the command, a dialog appears, in which the chamfer angle and length can be entered.

The position at which the object was identified (the "ID point") affects the rest of the command. It determines which end of the object will be altered. Refer to the graphics at the end of this section.

The chamfer length is the distance between the chamfer start point and the intersection of the identified objects, it is laid on the line which was identified first.

The position of the ID points determine which end of the objects will be altered. The end of the object closer to the ID point is always the one altered. In this way, any of the four possible corners can be created and chamfered (see graphic).

Use a length of 0 to connect two objects without a chamfer:

Note a basic rule for trimming: The object changes, wherever it is clicked on.

If the corresponding option is enabled, the properties of the object identified first will be applied to all involved objects – even including the object identified second.

If the objects identified are parallel, then an error message appears.

Corners within curves or surfaces can be chamfered using the commands Chamfer Corner > One Corner and Chamfer Corner > Complete.
