OFFSET (Command)
Creates a geometric object that is parallel or concentric to the selected object at a specified distance.
For example, if you offset a circle or an arc, a larger or smaller circle or arc is created, depending on which side you specify the offset. If you offset a polyline, the result is a polyline that is parallel to the original.
To offset an object
- Click OFFSET.
- Select the object to offset.
- Point the cursor in the direction you want to offset the object and specify the offset distance. Either enter a value using dynamic input, or click to specify the new location.
