I have been playing with gibbs and want to know if it's possible to put a compound angle on a corner without to much trouble. I have a square block that has a 1/4" 45 degree angle on 2 ends then on the corner it's 45 degree's at and angle of 60 degree's. So basically I am wanting to cut the corrner off at 60 degree's with a 45 degree chamfer to blend with the other chamfer.

It doesn't sound like you have compound angles, just a chamfer that goes around the part with some corners at a 60 deg angle. Don't have a picture here to look at but if you send me a copy of your VNC file I can show you what to do. There are usually several ways to cut chamfers and most users find one that they use all the time.

What I did was use the chamfer option to put that on the ends first, then tried to cut 2 corners and a 60 degree angle. I have no problem getting it at a 45 with that option but not a 60. I found where you can specify a dimension with an angle but haven't got that to work yet. If I can't get it to work today where do I email the file to? Thanks for your help
