Example: Edge chamfers
See below for typical examples of the ways you can show edge chamfers in drawings.
In the first example, the part Representation has been set to Exact and Edge chamfers have been set visible. Invisible color is used for edge chamfer lines, because you usually do not want to show edge chamfers in printouts, but may want to see and select them in the drawing, for example, to add associative notes.
In the second example, Representation has been set to Outline and Edge chamfers have been set visible in the part properties. Invisible color is used for edge chamfer lines, because you may want to see and select chamfers in the drawing, for example, to add associative notes. This representation type is often used when the scale is small and you do not need to see the small chamfers clearly. The edge chamfer presented in the lower right corner of the image shows what the edge chamfer looks like when it is selected.
