To Chamfer a Shaft Segment (AutoCAD Mechanical Toolset)

Use the Chamfer option to chamfer segments. To use this option you must have inserted a segment.

  1. In the Shaft Generator dialog box, select the Chamfer option.
  2. Select the object to be chamfered. The selected edges are marked with red circles.
  3. Click the side of the section to be chamfered.
  4. Specify the length of the chamfer or select the starting point of the chamfer on the shaft contour.
  5. Specify the angle of the chamfer. If you enter D for distance, you can control the chamfer by entering the distance in the direction of the cross-section.
Note: If you delete a chamfered section, the chamfer is also deleted.
