2 This figure shows an offset to current layer. Layer has the choice to use the Source layer of the original object being offset, OR it can be changed to the Current layer by typing “ C”.įig. Three other variables we can control in the OFFSET command are Through/Erase/Layer.Įrase is a yes or no variable to erase the source and is set by typing EĮrase source object after offsetting? : YĮnter layer option for offset objects The perpendicular distance from each chamfer to its corresponding vertex on the original object is equal to the offset distance.įig, 1 This figure shows the OFFSETGAPTYPE variables. The radius of each arc segment is equal to the offset distance.Ģ Chamfers line segments at their projected intersections. The variables for this command are found in the System Variables in the Express Tools ribbon.Ĭontrols how potential gaps between segments are treated when polylines are offset.Ġ Extends line segments to their projected intersections.ġ Fillets line segments at their projected intersections. Type OFFSETGAPTYPE in the command line then select Enter: The answer to the second question is “yes”. What is OFFSETGAPTYPE=0? Also, are there other variables to use? In the command line (as noted above) which starts with ‘ Current settings:’ Or select the Offset icon in the Home ribbon tab, the command line will read:Īt this point, a distance is entered, then on to the next screen: Type “O” in the command line then select Enter, the command line will read:Ĭurrent settings: Erase source=No Layer=Source OFFSETGAPTYPE=0
A simple example is the AutoCAD Offset command. Sometimes extra steps are created by not reading the command line, and seeing the options that are available. If you are like me, there is a chance you execute Autodesk commands by route, not thinking about it.
