The Modifying Tools are described in the following information 
providing a description of their use and application.  These tools have 
been briefly described in the table “Modifying Toolbar” on page 307.



Enter the radius required, and select Use. 



Select the two separate (typically intersecting) geometry where the 
radius is to be inserted.

The existing geometry is now modified adding the corner radius.  
Additional corner radius modification can be inserted to other 
geometry, or touch in a empty space on the display to exit.

The chamfer tool allows a chamfer to be inserted in place of a sharp 
corner, or radius at the intersecting point between two line segments.
