Polyline / Distance / Angle / Trim / Method / <Select first line> : Use an object selection method or enter an option
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, AutoCAD LT extends or trims them so that they do.
If TRIMMODE is set to 0, the chamfer is created without trimming the selected lines.
If both objects to be chamfered are on the same layer, AutoCAD LT creates the chamfer on that layer. Otherwise, AutoCAD LT creates the chamfer line on the current layer. This is also true for chamfer color and linetype.
Chamfers an entire 2D polyline.
Select 2D polyline: Use an object selection method
AutoCAD LT chamfers the intersecting line segments 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.
Sets the distance of the chamfer from the endpoint of the selected edge.
Enter first chamfer distance <current>:
Specify a distance or press ENTER
Enter second chamfer distance <current>: Specify
a distance or press ENTER
If you set both distances to zero, AutoCAD LT extends or trims the two lines so that they end at the same point.
After you specify the chamfer distance, use CHAMFER again to select the lines to chamfer.
Sets the chamfer distances using a chamfer distance for the first line and an angle for the second.
Enter first chamfer distance <current>:
Specify a distance or press ENTER
Enter angle from the first line <current>: Specify
an angle or press ENTER
Controls whether AutoCAD LT trims the selected edges to the chamfer line endpoints.
Trim / No Trim <Trim>: Enter n for No Trim or press ENTER
Controls whether AutoCAD LT uses two distances or a distance and an angle to create the chamfer.
Distance / Angle / <Distance>: Enter a for angle or press ENTER
Specifies the first of two edges required to define a 2D chamfer.
Select second line: Use an object selection method
If the two lines you select are polyline segments, they must be adjacent to each other. If they're separated by one line or arc segment, AutoCAD LT deletes the segment and replaces it with a chamfer line.
Related Commands: FILLET rounds and fillets the edges of objects.
System Variables: CHAMFERA sets the first chamfer distance.
CHAMFERB sets the second chamfer distance. CHAMFERC
sets the chamfer length. CHAMFERD sets the chamfer angle.
CHAMMODE controls whether CHAMFER uses two distances or
a distance and an angle to create a chamfer. TRIMMODE controls
whether selected edges are trimmed to the endpoints of the chamfer
line.
