In this post we will study on how to use chamfer and fillet command in autocad. First is the chamfer command which look like slicing the edges of corners 45 degrees as shown in Figure 1.

To use chamfer, type in your command line chamfer or click the chamfer command in your tool bar, after typing or clicking the message will be “Select first line or [Undo/Polyline/Distance/Angle/Trim/Method/ Multiple]:” we need to select the “Distance” by typing the word itself so that we can specify the first chamfer distance and the second chamfer distance then enter.Upon pressing enter, autocad will ask you to “Select the first line or [Undo/Polyline/Distance/Angle/Trim/Method/Multiple]:” all you need to do is just select the first line using your mouse and select also the second line then autocad will chamfered the drawing with a specific distance.

The next command is fillet, type fillet or “f” in your command line or you can also click it in your tool bar below the chamfer command. Command window message will be Select first object or [Undo/Polyline/Radius/Trim/Multiple]:” since this is the first time you do a fillet command there's no current settings in your fillet command so we need to choose “radius” by typing “r or radius” so that we can input the specific radius of fillet . After typing radius press enter then input the specific radius you want, in my example the radius is 3cm then press enter. The next process is to select the first object to fillet, do this by selecting the first and second line using your mouse (note: the two line to be fillet must be intersecting with each other like shown in Figure 2). The final output will look like Figure 3 which i fillet with a radius of 3cm.
