Offseting Selected Entities

Use the OffsetX command to create new entities by applying an offset to the selected entities.

OffsetX offers additional flexibility over the Offset command for the following options:

• Multiple: Lets you create multiple offsets, one by one, in the graphics area.
• Undo: At any moment, lets you reverse the effect of the most recent operation.
• GapType: Creates extended, filleted, or chamfered corners to fill gaps in offset polylines.

To create an offset entity through a specified point:

1. Do one of the following:
   • On the ribbon, click XtraTools > Modify > OffsetX.
   • On the menu, click XtraTools > Modify > OffsetX.
   • Type OffsetX.
2. Specify the Through option.
3. In the graphics area, specify the entities to offset.
4. Specify a point for the new entity.
5. Optionally, do one of the following:
   • To reverse the previous offset without terminating the running OffsetX command, specify the Undo option.
   • To create several new offsets, use Shift+Pick.
   • To create a new offset and erase the source object, use Ctrl+Pick.
6. Press Enter to conclude the command.

To create multiple offsets:

1. Do one of the following:
   • On the ribbon, click XtraTools > Modify > OffsetX.
   • On the menu, click XtraTools > Modify > OffsetX.
   • Type OffsetX.
2. Type an offset distance between the source and target entity and press Enter.
