Making a Chamfer using an angle

Adding a distance is not the only method of making chamfers and in the next example, we will use a combination of a distance and an angle to make a chamfer:

1. Once again, start the Chamfer command from the Modify panel or use the command alias, CHA. Now, select the Angle option from the subcommands of the Chamfer command, as shown:

2. Now, the command line will once again prompt you to specify the chamfer length of the first line. In this case, I am using a length of 2 units, so type 2 and press Enter.
3. Now, the command line will prompt you to add an angle value with respect to the first line (in this case, you won't be prompted for the second distance). Type 30 and press Enter.
4. Now, we will have a chamfer with a length of 2 units and inclined to an angle of 30 degrees, with respect to the 2-unit line. Select the CD line and then the BC line and we will have our chamfer, as shown:

5. As you can see in the preceding figure, the line shown in red is the first chamfer distance of 2 units and the 30-degree angle is between the line and the chamfer itself.

In this case, the Chamfer command exits once you have finished making the chamfer but if you want the Chamfer command to continue even after you have made the chamfer, then select the Multiple option from the chamfer subcommands, as shown:

After that, follow the normal steps for making a chamfer and the command will continue, even after making the chamfers. To exit the chamfer command, press the Esc key on your keyboard. In the preceding example, we made a chamfer using the Multiple option, but we needed to select all the vertices. We also have the option of making multiple chamfers using a single click, which is explained in the next section.
