Offset Curve

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gif Create a new line by offsetting an existing edge by a certain distance. The offset is created only when the edges exist on the workplane.

 

Methodology

 

 

Select the edge and line to offset on the workplane. Circles or arcs can also be selected. Because the offset is always in the normal direction of the target edge, there is no need to set the direction. The user only needs to input the distance to automatically offset. Checking the [Make Face] option creates a plane that contains the offset edges.

 

Geometry set

Register the generated edges on the Geometry set. The user can specify the name of the Geometry set.
