How to add your knowledge
Table of contents
No headersThe Offset command duplicates sketch geometry at a distance from the original.
You can offset any sketch entities on the sketch plane. Offset supports individual lines and curves, a chain of connected entities, and profiles. You can only make one selection.
NoteOffset entities do not keep a reference to the original geometry. You can change the length of any entity independently.
- Expand the Sketch pull-down then select Offset.
- In the graphics area, select an individual entity, a chain of connected entities, or a profile.
A valid selection highlights when you pause the cursor over it
- Move the cursor then click to create the offset.
- Select another entity to offset or right-click then select Cancel end the command.
- Select an ellipse or elliptical arc.
If you click the ellipse near the major or minor axis, the offset result is an ellipse. The axis displays in the preview, and the offset distance is the same at the major and minor axes. Since an ellipse is created, the offset distance varies around the rest of the ellipse.
