Making Chamfers on multiple vertices
In the case of polylines, you can apply chamfers on multiple vertices directly using the polyline subcommand. To explain this once again, I will use the rectangle we have used so far for the chamfers and apply chamfers on its multiple vertices in the following example:
- Select the Chamfer command and click on the Polyline subcommand from the command line or type P and press enter.
- Now, select the Distance subcommand from the command line and type the first and second distance for the chamfer. In this case, I am using a chamfer distance of 1 unit for both the 1 and 2 distances.
- Now, click on any line of the rectangle and you will notice that the chamfer will be applied to all four vertices of the rectangle. You will see the following shape:
F igure 3.79: Chamfers made on all four vertices with the polyline subcommand
In this case, the rectangle was made with polyline, so the chamfer was applied to all the vertices simply by clicking on any side of the rectangle. In the case of open curves, which are also made with polyline, you can use this method to make chamfers on multiple vertices.
After the Chamfer command, its time to discuss a command that will join broken geometries into a polyline, arc, line, or spline. This command is called Join and I have explained it in the next section.
