Chamfer an Entire Polyline
When you chamfer an entire polyline, each intersection is chamfered. For
best results, keep the first and second chamfer distances equal.
In this example, the chamfer distances are set to equal values.
When you chamfer an entire polyline, AutoCAD chamfers only the segments
that are long enough to accommodate the chamfer distance. The polyline in
the following illustration has some segments too short to be chamfered.
To set chamfer distances
1 From the Modify menu, choose Chamfer.
2 Enter d (Distances).
3 Enter the first chamfer distance.
4 Enter the second chamfer distance.
5 Select the lines for chamfering.
