Bevel Data

Defines a bevel using the distance values of straight lines, or an angle and the distance value of one straight line. The other properties of the dialog box are used for a 2D drawing's elements. Define the properties in the dialog box.

If 2D Constraint Manager is enabled, the beveling involves dimension constraints and a coincident constraints in a 2D drawing.

Dialog Box Options

A

Determines the distance of the bevel from the corner point on the first straight line. The meaning of the letter symbols is depicted in the figure in the dialog box. Select a suitable value from the list or enter a dimension value in the field.

The alternatives on the list are defined in the draft keyword group using the keyword bevel.

If you wish to leave the A, B or alfa field empty, select the option in the list.

B

Determines the distance of the bevel from the corner point on the second straight line.

A<->B

This function can be used to reverse the bevel values A and B. If you have entered an angle (alfa) value and the distance value of a straight line, the function will change the distance value from A to B and vice versa, but the angle value will remain unchanged.

Reverse the bevel values A and B. The bevel will be set as follows:

Change the bevel value A to value B. The angle value (alpha) will remain unchanged. The bevel will be set as follows:

alpha

Determines the value of the bevel angle. Besides, you must define the distance value A or B of the bevel from the selected corner point.

Properties

Defines the properties of the bevel line. Define the line properties in the dialog box.

Line Properties Dialog Box

Keep Line 1

Defines that the line keeps its length in the bevel when this checkbox is selected. Line 1 is the line you selected first. If the checkbox is empty, the line will be trimmed to the bevel.

Keep Line 2

Defines that the line keeps its length in the bevel when this checkbox is selected. Line 2 is the line you selected second. If the checkbox is empty, the line will be trimmed to the bevel.

Next

Use this function to change the bevel and, if it is possible to add, add a different kind of bevel to the lines' point of intersection. Click the Next button.
