Offset and Delete

To use this function:

• Select the ‘Offset and Delete’ button from the change ribbon.
  
• Enter the distance to be offset. Simply type the value into the line below the command window, then press ‘Confirm’ or the ‘Enter’ key to accept the value.
  
• Select the object to be offset.
  
• Then click/tap in the direction you wish to offset.
  
• The original object gets deleted, and the new one will change its color to let you know that it was offset.
  
• Press the confirm button to end the command.

Offset by a point

The ‘Offset by a point’ operates similarly to the ‘Offset’ function, except the offset distance is defined by clicking (or measuring) a specified point instead of inputting a numerical value.

To use this function:

• Select the ‘Offset by a point’ from the drop-down menu of the button ‘offset and delete’ in the change ribbon.
  
• Click on the element to be offset.
• Click, tap, or measure the point through which the offset element should be offset.
