What does a chamfer feature do on an edge in SolidWorks?
✗ Incorrect
A chamfer creates a beveled angled edge, not a rounded edge or hole.
Which chamfer type uses two distances to define the bevel?
✗ Incorrect
Distance-distance chamfer uses two distances to define the chamfer size.
What is the main visual difference between a chamfer and a fillet?
✗ Incorrect
Chamfer creates an angled edge; fillet creates a rounded edge.
When applying a chamfer, what must you select first?
✗ Incorrect
You select edges where the chamfer will be applied.
Why might you add chamfers to a part before manufacturing?
✗ Incorrect
Chamfers remove sharp edges, improving safety and assembly.
