Chamfer Dimensions
You can dimension chamfers in drawings. In addition to the usual dimension
display properties, chamfer dimensions have their own options for leader
display, text display, and X display. X display is the size of the X in
a chamfer dimension with two numbers, such as 1 X 45° (Length X Angle),
45° X 1 (Angle X Length), 1 X 1 (Length X Length) or C1 (chamfers of 45°).
Tolerance types for chamfer dimensions are
limited to None, Bilateral,
and Symmetric.
You can set document defaults for chamfer dimension leader display,
text display, and X display in Tools,
Options, Document
Properties, Dimensions,
Chamfer.
To insert chamfer dimensions into a drawing:
-
Click Chamfer Dimension
on the Dimensions/Relations toolbar or click Tools, Dimensions,
Chamfer.
The pointer changes to .
-
Select the chamfered edge, select one of the lead-in edges, then
click in the graphics area to place the dimension. You must select the
chamfered

select one of the lead-in edges.
Use rapid
dimensioning to place evenly spaced dimensions. Alternatively, move
the pointer outside of the rapid dimension manipulator to place the dimension.
The Dimension
PropertyManager appears, and the tool remains active for you
to dimension other chamfers.
