Creating a Chamfer Dimension

To create the chamfer dimension, start the Chamfer Dimension command and proceed as follows:

1. You are prompted to select a slant face (line in case of 2D) of the chamfer. Select the face you want to dimension.
   The program automatically selects the adjacent faces, if not you need to select the appropriate adjacent faces.
   
   
   
   To reset the selection, right-click on Adjacent Faces and select Reset. Then, the program resets the selection and allows you to reselect the face to be dimensioned.
   Similarly, to reset the adjacent faces selection, right-click on Adjacent Faces in the selection list and select Reset. After the selection is reset, you can select the adjacent faces of your choice.
   
   
2. You can then define the dimensioning type using the following options available under More Options:
   
   Using the Two dimensions option, you can select when to apply the double dimension:

   Always enabled	Enables the double dimension in all cases
   For chamfers other than 45 degree	Enables the double dimension only for angles other than 45°

   
   Using Keep Edges drop-down list, you can choose the mode to determine the chamfer dimension to be applied:
   
   

   Two distances	Creates a chamfer dimension based on two distances
   Angle & distance	Creates a chamfer dimension based on angle and distance

   
   
   
3. Specify the location to place the chamfer dimension(s).
