Chamfer Pillars

Chamfer Pillars is meant for redrawing existing pillars that are notched at a corner by mine equipment.

Chamfer Pillars is similar to AutoCAD's chamfer expect that AutoCAD's works only on lines and Chamfer Pillars works only on polylines in the PILLARS layer. Chamfering basically creates a new edge that replaces a corner point and extends down each side a specified distance. In order to determine which corner to chamfer, this routine displays the dialog box shown below.
