Automatically breaking the sharp angles of a part You can assign a chamfer or radius to break the angle.

The purpose is to break the angle without changing the part.

 

 

 

 

Operation

 

The angle breaking operation is completed by taking into account the plunge and frontal angles of the current tool. Tool plunges are completed using the tool options.

 

 

Operation

 

From the Turning menu or using the mouse (by selecting or not selecting a face with the right mouse button), select the "Breaking Edges..." operation.

 

A toolbar appears on the left of the screen, along with a label in the graphic area.
