Modifying Tools
The Modifying Tools are described in the following information
providing a description of their use and application. These tools have
been briefly described in the table “Modifying Toolbar” on page 309.
Corner Radius (inserting)
The corner radius tool allows a corner radius to be inserted in place of
a sharp corner at the intersecting point between any two pieces of
geometry.
 To add a corner radius to existing geometry, perform the following:
 Select the Corner Radius button from the Modifying Toolbar.
 Enter the radius required, and select Use.
 Select the two separate (typically intersecting) geometry where the
radius is to be inserted.
 The existing geometry is now modified adding the corner radius.
Additional corner radius modification can be inserted to other
geometry, or touch in a empty space on the display to exit.
Chamfer (inserting)
The chamfer tool allows a chamfer to be inserted in place of a sharp
corner, or radius at the intersecting point between two line segments.
 To add a chamfer to existing geometry, perform the following:
 Select the Chamfer button from the Modifying Toolbar.
 Enter the chamfer length required, and select Use.
 Select the two separate (typically intersecting) geometry where the
chamfer is to be insert.
 The existing geometry is now modified adding the chamfer.
Additional chamfer modification can be inserted to other geometry,
or touch in a empty space on the display to exit.
The prompt display bar (located just above the bottom row
of buttons in the display area) provides next step action to
complete the modification requirement.
