To Create a O1 x O2 Chamfer

O1 x O2 chamfers enable you to define the chamfer offset distance independently.

  1. In the graphics window, select the references from which to create the chamfer. Notice that the chamfer propagates across tangent neighbors until it encounters a break in tangency. However, if you use a One-by-One chain, the chamfer does not propagate across tangent neighbors.
    Note
    : Press CTRL+click to select additional references for the active chamfer set or to remove a reference.

  2. Click on the Feature toolbar or Insert > Chamfer > Edge Chamfer. The Chamfer tool opens and Pro/ENGINEER displays preview geometry. Notice that the selected references are in the References collector on the Sets slide-up panel.

  3. Click Sets. On the Sets slide-up panel, select the Offset Surfaces chamfer creation method. This is the default chamfer creation method.

  4. Select the O1 x O2 dimension scheme from the Dimension Scheme box on the dialog bar. You can also select this scheme from the shortcut menu.

  5. To define the offset distance, drag each distance handle to the preferred offset distance or snap each to a reference. Pro/ENGINEER displays the offset distance values in the graphics window and dynamically updates the preview geometry.
    Note
    : You can also type a new distance value or select a most recently used value from the O1 or O2 box on the Dialog Bar. The same method applies to the distance box in the Distance table (O1 or O2 column) located on the Sets slide-up panel.

  6. To reverse the chamfer distances, click on the Dialog Bar. Click it again to return to the original distances. You can also place your cursor over the radius handle, right-click and use Flip from the shortcut menu.

  7. At this point the chamfer is complete. If you need to define the chamfer further, refer to the topics under See Also for more information.

  8. Click to save your changes. Pro/ENGINEER creates the chamfer and closes the Chamfer tool.
