Creating a Chamfer feature

1. Click the Features step in the Steps panel.

This displays the New Feature wizard.

2. Click Chamfer and then click Next to open the New Feature - Curves page and select a curve from the Curve list.
3. Click Next to open the New Feature - Machining Side page.
4. Click Next to open the New Feature - Location page.
5. Click Next to open the New Feature - Dimensions page.

   If a dimension field has a blue label, you can click it and 'pick' the dimension from objects in the graphics window.

6. Select the chamfer type:
   • 2D Chamfer — Create a chamfer on a curve in the XY plane.

     For a 2D Chamfer, enter the Width and Depth of the chamfer edge break. Width and Depth settings are related to each other because they must match the shape of a tool in your tool crib to cut the described chamfer. For a 45 tool, Width and Depth must be equal.

   • 3D Chamfer — Create a chamfer on a planar curve that is not in the XY plane, or on a non-planar curve.

     For a 3D Chamfer, enter the Depth and Tip offset.
