Reusable Detailing Tools
In AutoCAD
®
Mechanical, the drafting tools have intelligence built-in that help you edit the
features easily without having to remove and recreate the original features.
This lesson demonstrates some reusable tools such as chamfers, title blocks, and associative
detail views.
Chamfers
You can resize chamfers created in AutoCAD Mechanical using the Chamfer
dialog box. Because the chamfer has built-in intelligence, double-click the
chamfer to make changes.
Try It: Edit a chamfer
Open the completed part drawing (the gland) you created. Double-click the
chamfer and change its size to 2 mm. See that the dimensions change to the
new chamfer size. You can also double-click a fillet to change its size.
