Bevel

Quick Access Panel:

Ribbon: Editor -> Instruments -> Bevel

Menu: Tools -> Modify -> Bevel

 

If the segments intersect - superfluous parts are automatically cut off after the use of this tool. If the line segments do not intersect, the segments can be extended.

Example 1: intersecting lines

Example 2: non intersecting lines

before: after:

Note: bevel's value is available for changing:

 

To create a bevel between two lines:

2.Press the Bevel button;

3.Place mouse cursor over the drawing field; the field in the dynamic input shows the current bevel value (physically this is  the distance from the intersection point to the sections' cut off points). Enter the new value.
