Offset Objects with Specified Through Point

Creates objects using an offset distance from a specified through point.

You are prompted to Specify the offset distance or <Through>

Input T at the prompt and press Enter.

You are then prompted to Select object to offset or <Finish>

Click to identify the object to offset.

You are then prompted to Specify through point or <Finish>

Click to identify the through point to which the object is offset.

If an enclosed object is selected, the offset object is either created around or inside the selected object, depending on which side is selected as the offset direction.

The size of offset object is determined by the offset distance and selected side. For example, if the offset distance is 10mm, and a point outside the object is clicked on, the copy is 10mm wider than the original on all sides.

The Select object to offset or <Finish> and Specify through point or <Finish> prompts are repeated, allowing you to create multiple offset objects using a through point.

Input F at the prompt and press Enter to end the command.

Throughout the offset process you can press ESC to cancel the command. Additional functionality is also available.
