Offset an Object
Command line
OFFSET
Offsetting an object creates a new object whose shape parallels the shape of a selected object.
You may use the offset feature to copy selected objects and align the offset to the original objects at a
specified distance. You may make offset objects using arcs, circles, lines.
Making offset copies of curved objects creates larger or smaller curves, depending on which side of the
original object the user places the copy. For example, placing a offset copy of a circle outside the circle
creates a larger concentric circle; positioning the copy inside the circle creates a smaller concentric
circle.
