Blend/Chamfer
A blend is an arc that connects two lines, two arcs or a line and an arc.
The arc is tangent to the adjacent steps.
An inverted blend is also an arc that connects two lines, two arcs, or a
line and arc. They are perpendicular to the adjacent steps.
The two steps to be blended can, but don't have to, intersect or touch.
If they don't come into contact with each other, check that the radius
is large enough to connect them.
It's also possible to close a contour (e.g., a triangle) using the blend
feature by inserting a blend step immediately after the last step in the
contour.
Enter the blend's radius, press the Close Contour soft key, and
MILLPWR
G2
will blend the last step with the first step.
