This tool offsets the selected object. Only works if only one object is selected. You are simply asked for one point, giving the distance to offsrt from the selected object.
Usage
- Pressing CTRL will snap you to availible snap locations. A filled symbol appears to notify you.
- Pressing SHIFT will constrain you to the current segment, instead of picking the closest one.
- Pressing ESCAPE will cancel the operation.
- C switches the copy mode on/off. With Copy on, new objects will be created instead of rotating existing objects.
- Pressing ALT will make a copy, even if the Copy check button is off.
Note that the offset tool currently doesn't work with wires containing arcs. You must first explode (downgrade) them before offsetting.
