akarees8080 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hi Guys - Can someone tell me how to chamfer an isometric box. I need to do the 2 front edges but unsure. Cheers, Andrew CAD 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Assuming we are talking about a 2D isometric drawing, measure up and then over and connect the dots, trim, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akarees8080 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 That doesn't help me I am afraid. Cant seem to get the corner looking like a chamfer! yes we are talking about an Isometric 2-D drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this what you are talking about? (see attachment) Copy the lines over the distance needed, don't offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 You can draw an iso circle with the ellipse command and draw a line between the intersection also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akarees8080 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 trying to chamfer the 3 corners on the top of this object Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Is that a 3D model by any chance? You want to chamfer the corners not the edges right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akarees8080 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 This is a 2D iso shaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akarees8080 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Want it to look like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 You told me 2D so I hope that is accurate. Same technique as I described before, locate the two points, connect the dots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I would have done it in 3D and extracted the 2D view from the model. Make life easy on yourself by letting AutoCAD do the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 In isometric view a chamfered edge will look odd, even though drawn correctly. Choose your pick, I think they all are misleading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
