### Chamfers

Similarly to filleting, there are two ways to generate chamfers:

Figure 52: Characterizations of chamfering

Exercise (CREATE CHAMFER): Generate chamfers at the corners of the rectangle using a chamfering distance of 7 . Use both chamfer characterizations.
Solution: Click the icons for the command CREATE CHAMFER TBE. Now select, just as in the fillet exercise, two converging line segments and then enter the required value for the chamfering distance DST.

Figure: CREATE CHAMFER TBE

Now select the other characterization TOE and enter the required value. Here also, as opposed to the previous characterization TBE the element ENT1 remains un-trimmed.
