Match the Misconceptions with Solutions:

First distance applies to first object.

I'm trying to chamfer with two distinct distances, but it doesn't seem to align as I anticipate. The application of the distances seems reversed. What could be the reason?

Set radius or distance to greater than 0

When I attempt to fillet or chamfer two lines that aren't connected, I'm encountering issues. It doesn't seem to work as expected. What am I missing?

Check lines & radius or distance.

Every time I apply the chamfer or fillet command, I end up creating a 90-degree corner instead of the desired edge treatment. Why is this happening?
