Standard Steel shape chamfering

[Anonymous]

Anyone know if there's a way to chamfer standard steel shapes? Thanks and... Have fun, Dave

Dave, As far as I know, there is no way to modify the ACADM PowerPack parts while keeping them PowerPack parts. You can add/remove sizes from the value table. If you need to modify the geometry of a PP steel shape, after inserting it into your drawing, you must break the link and convert it to a regular component.

We then put two of the three lines on a freezable layer, leaving the chamfer line on am_0. Then we do a hide on the three lines, hiding the steel behind it. Then we freeze the two lines we don't need anymore. Simple, eh? :O) Have fun, Dave

How about a screen capture of what you are saying. I don't understand what you meant.

But it saves the std steel and after I write the lisp it should be cake. :O) Have fun, Dave "Jim Shipley" wrote: > ...seems like a lot of work! > > > "Dave Seibert" wrote: > > "Jim Shipley" wrote: > > > Dave, > > > As far as I know, there is no way to modify the ACADM PowerPack parts > > while > > > keeping them PowerPack parts. > > > snip < > > > > Kind of what I thought so... > > > > we drew a chamfer shape over the chamfer area.

That doesn't work for me. When I freeze the chamfer layer, my hide goes away.
