The Offset button creates a displacement copy of the selected object a parallel distance away as specified in the Offset Revealfield.  See: Offset Function in Trace Offset Rules in Trace:Enclosed Objects: Arcs and Curves greater than 180 Degrees use the same rules as closed objects. Unenclosed Objects: For unenclosed objects the arrow buttons depend on the direction of travel of the vector segments, starting from the line’s start point. The Left < button offsets Clockwise and Right > button offsets Counter-Clockwise. If it doesn’t Offset in the expected direction, click Undo and click the other Offset Direction. |
