How to use 'Chamfer' in Plasmacam

Post by Complete_Loser »

Hello all,
Well, im having a dickens of a time trying to use the Chamfer command in Plasmacam 3.11 :?

I have a corner drawn. And I simply want to round it over. I even follow the instructions in the lower task bar, but obviously im doing something incorrect.

Any thoughts?

In AutoCAD that is a fillet command . . .

Chamfer clips, not rounds . . .

Not sure in PlasmaCAM, never seen it . . . but a tutorial I found says it is the same as in AutoCAD . . .

On a fillet command you will need to tell it a radius . . .
