Chamfer Property

Description

Defines a chamfer feature along the edge of a solid.

Property type

Read-only property

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Property Chamfer As ChamferGeometry2d

Remarks

This property is only valid if the associated line was placed as a chamfer with the AddAsChamfer method. The ChamferGeometry2d object provides access to the chamfer geometry methods and properties associated with the line. The ChamferGeometry2d object returned is a virtual object. This object has common methods and properties that act on the Chamfer Geometry data on the Line2d object. The Chamfer property does not return a separate geometry object. The ChamferGeometry2d object only acts on the instance of the Line2d object.
