10.14 Create Chamfers

Command line: CHAMFER
Chamfering creates a flattened or beveled corner where two lines meet.
You may connect two nonparallel objects by extending or trimming them and then joining them with a
line to create a beveled edge. You may chamfer lines, polylines, rays, and infinite lines. When creating a
chamfer, you may specify how far to trim the objects back from their intersection (distance-distance
method), or may specify the length of the chamfer and the angle it forms along the first object (distance-
angle method).
When chamfering a polyline, you may chamfer multiple segments between two selected polyline
segments, or may chamfer the entire polyline.
If two objects to chamfer on the same layer, the chamfer line lies on the layer as the object does;
otherwise, the chamfer line lies on the current layer which controls the properties of the line. The
multiple option can help you chamfer multiple objects at one time.
