edges. Note the rectangle should be in poly line
Use the same procedure to FILLET but specify the R as 0 then two lines will intersect sharply,
whatever the angle of the line it may be (just to connect two line end point)
CHP – caper press enter then D to specify the distance of chop (slant line which cuts the corner of
triangle)
AR – ARARY
