Chamfer Constrained Geometry





Used to add chamfer constraints to a constrained profile. There are three methods for specifying the size of the chamfer and you can name the chamfer constraint.



SettingDescription
Method

Sets the placement parameters for the chamfer constraint.

  • Distances — Sets (1) Distance 1, the chamfer distance from the vertex, along the first selected surface, and (2) Distance 2, the chamfer distance from the vertex, along the second selected surface.

  • Distance and Angle — Sets (1) the chamfer Distance from the vertex, along the selected surface, and (2) the angle formed by the chamfer and the selected surface.

  • Chamfer Length — Sets the distance between the two selected surfaces, along the chamfer.

Create Dimensions

When on, chamfer dimensions are placed with the chamfer.

Distance 1

(Method set to Distances only) Sets the chamfer distance along the surface that is selected first.

Distance 2

(Method set to Distances only) Sets the chamfer distance along the surface that is selected last.

Distance

(Method set to Distance and Angle only) Sets the chamfer distance with respect to the selected surface.

Angle

(Method set to Distance and Angle only) Sets the chamfer angle with respect to the selected surface.

Length

(Method set to Chamfer Length only) Sets the length along the chamfer.

Constraint 1 (dialog setting)
  • (Method set to Distances) Sets the constraint name for the Distance 1 constraint.

  • (Method set to Distance and Angle) Sets the constraint name for the Distance constraint.

  • (Method set to Chamfer Length) Sets the constraint name for the Length constraint.

Constraint 2 (dialog setting)
  • (Method set to Distances) Sets the constraint name for the Distance 2 constraint.

  • (Method set to Distance and Angle) Sets the constraint name for the Angle constraint.
