PCB Editor 16.2 CHAMFER command not working

Alexandra
Alexandra over 16 years ago

Hi,

I try to CHAMFER the corners of a board outline, but I do not succeed.

The OUTLINE is composed of lines. Note that the FILLET command works properly.

I set in OPTIONS the "Tim Segments" and "Chamfer Angle" (I think) corectly.

When I run the command, I see in the command area the following:

Pick the first segment to be chamfered (I pick the first segment, looks selected, highlighted)

Pick second segment (I pick the second segment, looks selected, highlighted)

Angle and trim value or both trim values required (I do not know what this means, I have set them previously in the OPTIONS window.

Aparently the commands ends, but nothing happens, no chamfer.)

I noticed that when I am asked to pick the segments, the FIND window becomes gray, like is not active. But when I hoover over the segments I want chamfered, I see them highlighted.

Thanks for any hint

    Right, draw the arc and then erase the segment.

    In Orcad Layout is simpler.

    select segment\right click\arc\enter.

     No redraw or erase.

    Thnaks,
