Offset Path and Dynamic Offset

As the name suggests, this will offset a path from the selected path by the distance selected. You can use a positive or negative value, and the effect of each will depend on the path direction as shown below.

If you untick the Show this prompt on Offset check box then you will need to change the distance parameter via the User Options dialog, Geometry tab.

 

NOTE This function is now deprecated as of version 4.5.510, we suggest using the more powerful Dynamic Offset instead.
