Offset Rules:

• The Offset button creates a displacement copy of the selected object a parallel distance away as specified in the Offset Revealfield.

• • This is done in order to make a second layer on the design.

• If it doesn’t Offset in the expected direction, click Undo and click the other Offset Direction.

  • The Left < button will offset an enclosed object to the outside.

  • The Right > button will offset an enclosed object to the inside.

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.
