Use the Chamfer command to add a chamfer note to a drawing view. |
You can place a chamfer note on a linear model edge or sketch line. A reference line, required for chamfer calculation, must be a linear model edge or sketch line that shares endpoints or intersects with the chamfer. Chamfer notes can be attached to view and sketch chamfers. A chamfer edge and reference edge can be from different bodies, models, or sketches, but must be part of the same view. In the example:
|
If a chamfer edge is cut by a view boundary (broken, break-out, section, or detail view), the chamfer note is based on the full edge. By default, the leader attaches to the midpoint of the visible edge. |
Chamfer note formatting is associated with a dimension style (as well as settings from the text and leader substyles referenced by the dimension style).
Note: For chamfers using model edges, if geometry partially obscures the selected chamfer and reference edge, or the edge is broken, the calculated chamfer distances and edges derive from the model edges, not just the visible portions. The chamfer note is constrained to the visible portion of the selected edge, but can be dragged to a different position.

In this example: |

A |
Chamfer edge (hidden portion) |
|
B |
Reference edge (hidden portion) |
|
C |
Reference edge (visible portion) |
|
D |
Obscuring body |
Chamfer note formatting uses settings from the Dimension style, Text, and Leader substyles. You can edit a chamfer note to change its content or format.
Note: You can click the chamfer text and drag to a new location, but you cannot detach the chamfer note from its edge. The extension line offset and overshoot format is specified by the leader style associated with the active dimension style.

The Format Text dialog box provides more text editing capability than the Edit Chamfer Note dialog box.
Chamfer notes can display dimension values both in primary and in alternate measurement units. Edit the Dimension Style to change the settings.
The default format of the note is determined by settings on the Notes and Leaders tab of the associated dimension style. As described in Style and Standard Editor - Dimension Style, some settings on the Notes and Leaders tab are specific to chamfer notes. In addition, the following settings on dimension style tabs also specify chamfer note formatting: |
