Description
The Sketcher Offset tool creates equidistant edges around selected edges.
Equidistant edges around a closed (O) and an open (U) construction polyline
Usage
See also: Drawing aids.
Dim-OVP = Dimensional On-View-Parameters.
- Select one or more edges.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- Press the Offset geometry button.
- Select the Sketcher → Sketcher tools → Offset geometry option from the menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: Z then T.
- The cursor changes to a white cross with the tool icon.
- The Offset parameters section is added at the top of the Sketcher Dialog.
- Optionally press the U key or check the Delete original geometries checkbox to only keep the new outline.
- Optionally press the J key or check the Add offset constraint checkbox to add a dimensional constraint between the offset outline and the original geometry.
- Optionally press the M key or select from the dropdown list in the parameters section to change the tool mode:
- Pick a point to define the offset distance. Or with Dim-OVP: enter this distance.
