Trim and Extend Chamfered Objects
By default, objects are trimmed when chamfered, but you can use the Trim
option to specify that they remain untrimmed.
Chamfer by Specify Length and Angle
You can chamfer two objects by specifying where on the first selected object
the chamfer line starts, and then the angle the chamfer line forms with this
object.
In this example, you chamfer two lines so that the chamfer line starts 1.5
units from the intersection along the first line and forms an angle of 30
degrees with this line.
Chamfer Polylines and Polyline Segments
If the two objects you select for chamfering are segments of a polyline, they
must be adjacent or separated by no more than one arc segment. If they are
separated by an arc segment, as shown in the illustration, chamfering deletes
the arc and replaces it with a chamfer line.
