Chamfers for constructing only isolated chamfers. Therefore, when constructing chamfers on the surfaces of revolution or two-sided chamfers on the edges of faceted parts, you will have to add the missing construction lines manually. Remember that this chamfer creation technique works only in the case when the parameter is set among the operation parameters, “Auto change Hatches”. After selecting the type of the chamfer being created and defining the necessary parameters, you need to select the node at which the chamfer will be constructed. This is done by the option . The selected node must belong to a hatch contour. Upon selecting the node, the chamfer and the construction entities used for its creation are constructed automatically according to the specified parameters. The direction of creating the angular chamfer is determined by the system automatically (depending on where the hatch contour lies). Chamfer creation by the node through which two graphic lines are passing This technique is used when the graphic lines are already applied on the drawing. A chamfer created in this way is drawn as a graphic entity. All construction entities necessary for the chamfer creation are produced automatically. When creating a chamfer in this way, make sure that no more than two graphic lines are passing through the selected node. Otherwise, we recommend using another way of chamfer creation, described below. To create an isolated chamfer, in the operation parameters select the desired chamfer type and set the necessary parameters. After that, specify the node through which two graphic lines are passing. The direction of creating the angular chamfer is determined by the system automatically (depending on where the graphic lines lie). For inner chamfer creation, we recommend using the special chamfer types intended for this purpose. The pointer should be positioned in this case on the desired side of the chamfer creation. When creating dual chamfers, upon defining the parameters just select two nodes where two respective pairs of graphic lines intersect. The pointer position is of no importance in this case. Chamfer Creation by Graphic Lines This technique, as well as the previous one, is used when the graphic lines are already applied on the drawing. The chamfer created in this way is displayed as a graphic entity. The existing graphic entities are 405

Fundamentals. Two-Dimensional Design 406 modified, and all necessary construction entities necessary for the chamfer creation are produced automatically in the process. When creating an isolated chamfer in this way, then, upon selecting the chamfer type and defining the necessary parameters, you need to specify two graphic lines intersecting in one point. The graphic line selection is done by or by the option: Select Graphic line In this case, the chamfer distance will be counted from the first selected graphic line. 1 When creating dual chamfers, then, upon defining the necessary parameters, you just need to select their common graphic line lying in between. In this case, each end point of this line should be connected with exactly one graphic line. In the ambiguous cases, when more than two lines pass through the end nodes, or the lines intersect without passing through the end nodes, then three graphic lines need to be selected for the dual chamfer creation, in the order starting with the common line of the to chamfers. 1 2 3 or 1 2 3 When creating any type of a chamfer, error messages are displayed on the screen in the cases of incorrect element definition. Chamfer Parameters Since the chamfer parameter definition is the first step of its creation, the default system behavior implies launching the chamfer parameters dialog box immediately upon calling the command. Otherwise, the dialog box is called by the option: Set command options 2
