Autocad offset symbol

For example. With the Corner option, you can specify sharp corners or rounded corners for the polyline. External and internal corners create rounded corners differently depending whether the corners are concave or convex—the radius of the arcs maintain the specified offset distance. Tip: An effective drawing technique is to offset objects and then trim or extend their ends.

Enters the Multiple offset mode, which repeats the offset operation using the current offset distance. Reverses the previous offset. Creates an object passing through a specified point. Erases the source object after it is offset. Determines whether offset objects are created on the current layer or on the layer of the source object. Creates concentric circles, parallel lines, and parallel curves. Offset Distance Creates an object at a specified distance from an existing object.

Through Creates an object passing through a specified point. Note: For best results when you offset a polyline with corners, specify the through point near the midpoint of a line segment, not near a corner.

Erase Erases the source object after it is offset. Layer Determines whether offset objects are created on the current layer or on the layer of the source object.
