This operation is used to cut the arris into a line or an arc, so as to remove burrs from parts caused by machining, and help part assembly.

Before using chamfer, ensure the following:

• The target object has at least one arris formed by two lines.

• Standard 5-axis machining has been enabled.

   • Fillet: to cut the arris into an arc.

3. Select a chamfer mode:

   • Two edges: Add chamfer for two selected adjacent edges.

   • Within objects: Add chamfer for all angles of all objects by batch.

4. To set the chamfer size, according to the chamfer type, do one of the following:

   • Chamfer: Select Distance and set chamfer distance of two edges, or select Angle and set chamfer length and angle of the first edge.

   • Fillet: Input the chamfer radius.
