Chamfer tool

Post by Curt »

First, the program is excellent. I haven't figured out how to use the chamfer tool. Can the steps and setup be explained?

Thanks,
Curt

Bonjour Curt,

Thank you for your opinion on iPocket Draw.

For the chamfer tool, did you watch the video on YouTube?

Hello,

The uTube video of the iPhone is too small to see the operations and the speed is too fast to see the sequence.

Thank you,
Curt

You can choose the HD quality and watch the video at full screen.

But to use this tool :
- draw 2 lines;
- select and configure the tool;
- begin a tap on the first line (on the side that you want keep) and drag (draw a line) to the second line (on the side that you want keep);
- it is all;

Hello,

On the iPhone it selects the best definition. I cannot select Levels like a computer.

I found that the chamfer tool only works with the constrained line. I am able to use it. It doesn't work on a triangle or square object. In other words I can't chamfer a corner of a square object. I did figure it out though and that's a step in the right direction.

Bonjour Curt,

The chamfer tool needs 2 lines to work but not only constrained lines.
You can not do a chamfer between a line and a square for example. But you can convert the square to lines and so use the chamfer tool.

I don't understand "I cannot select Levels like a computer".

Thanks
Eric Pousse
