InsertProfileOffset


The Offset Constraint command enables you to constrain linear entities in a 2D Profile so that they maintain an offset distance from each other.

After starting the command, you need to select two groups of entities (for the First Group and Second Group selectors respectively) between which the Offset constraint is to be applied. The entities selected in the first group and the corresponding selection in the second group should be of the same type, as shown in the images below.

First Group Second Group

Result

If the orientation of any of the curves involved in an offset constraint is modified, the remaining curves are realigned to maintain the offset distance.

Note
On selecting the Add Dimension check box, the offset dimension can be applied between the entities that can be later modified to redefine the offset distance.
