CHAMFER ONLY draws a line entity near the intersection of two entities for a beveled corner. You can add a chamfer to entities that cross, entities that are already connected at their endpoints, or entities that do not meet (as long as they are not parallel). CHAMFER ONLY does not change the selected entities in any way; it only draws the chamfer between them. If you want the selected entities to be trimmed to the chamfer, use the CHAMFER & TRIM command instead.

Note: do not specify chamfers of zero length. There will be no apparent change in the drawing, but a zero-length chamfer line entity will be drawn at the intersection point. Instead, use the TRIM TO INTERSECTION command ( $image\TRIMINT.gif$ ).

To draw a non-trimming chamfer, select Draw > Fillets/Chamfer> Chamfer Only:

The prompt reads "1st entity:". Use the pick cursor and select an entity. CC3 displays the selected entity in gray.
The prompt reads "2nd entity:". Use the pick cursor and select an entity (it must be not be parallel to the first entity). CC3 displays the selected entity in gray.
The prompt reads "Chamfer distance [n]:". The chamfer distance specifies how far from the intersection of the selected entities to put the chamfer line (not the length of the chamfer line). To specify the chamfer distance, right-click to accept the default or prior value, or type a new value and press ENTER.

CC3 draws the chamfer line without modifying the picked entities.
