Trace - Axial Offset - Chamfer

Lonnie.Cady — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 15:41:07 GMT

What is the purpose of having the axial offset calculated off the chamfer settings? If I actually want a chamfer I must go back and set to zero. In what situation is the benefit of having that filed be automatically populated from the chamfer settings?

Are you saying that populates automatically when you have a chamfer tool? Mine defaults to zero, although it's possible that I changed that at some point..

@LibertyMachine yep that is what I am saying

Mine has this equation there

chamferTipOffset + ((tool_taperAngle > 0) ? chamferWidth/Math.tan(tool_taperAngle * Math.PI/180) : 0)

Have you tried to reset to built in default? I know I can change the default, was curious as to the logic behind it.

Yuck. Just tried it. No thanks. I mean, someone went to the work to generate that, but I'm uncertain what the point it. I set mine to zero and set that as default...

Exactly, it completely negates the chamfer settings by adding the axial offset.
