Fillet
Chamfer
When constructing chamfers and fillets, the existing graphic lines are modified, and
new ones are created.
Constructing chamfers and fillets itself is done by simply selecting two intersecting
segments, or the segments whose extensions intersect.
Meanwhile, the property window allows defining the width for symmetrical
chamfers, or the angle for asymmetrical ones, or the fillet radius.
Center Lines
To create center lines for such entities as arcs, circles and ellipses, enter the appropriate mode by calling the
automenu option:
Axis lines
After the, simply select any circle, arc or fillet, and center lines will be created automatically.
Creating Offsets
Offset of a group of Graphic Lines
or
This option is provided for creating offsets to a group of connected graphic entities. The group of entities can
include line segments and arcs connected into a continuous sequence.
The offset type is defined in the property window. The flag “Automatic selection”
sets the mode of automatic search for line sequences. In this mode, simply select by
clicking at least one line in a continuous sequence, and all the rest will be found
automatically. Should forks be encountered, the automatic search stops. It will
resume only after specifying the continuation for the search. If the automatic search
mode is off, each line needs to be selected manually.
Setting the flag “Round corners” causes automatic filleting of the chain being created. The flag “Copy
style” allows transmitting the original line properties onto the offset lines (the type, width, color, etc.).
In the process of offset creation, the offset being created will be rubberbanding following the pointer. The
offset position can be defined freely by clicking or exactly by entering the offset value in the property
window.
