To Offset a Survey Figure

You can offset an existing figure by a specified distance. A positive value indicates an offset to the right; a negative value indicates an offset to the left.

  1. In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click a named network Survey Command Window.
  2. At the Command line, enter:

    OFFSET [figure] [distance]

    Note: Numeric figure names should not start with the number zero. For example, a figure name of 235 is acceptable but 0235 is not.

Command Line Example
