Summary
The CP_INOUTOFFSET command simplifies the process of offsetting multiple closed polylines either inwards or outwards with a single operation. This command is especially useful for adjusting boundaries, creating buffers, or modifying closed shapes efficiently.
CADPower -> Polyline Tools -> Others -> Offset closed polylines INwards/OUTwards
Key features include:
- Batch Offset: Offset multiple closed polylines simultaneously, saving time and effort.
- Flexible Direction Control: Choose to offset the polylines either inwards or outwards, depending on your design needs.
- Customizable Distance: Specify the horizontal offset distance, allowing precise control over the extent of the offset.
Workflow:
Command: CP_INOUTOFFSET
Select Objects: (select polylines to offset)
Offset direction: [ Inwards/Outwards ] <Outwards>: (Type Inwards or Outwards)
Horizontal offset distance : <1.0000>: (Enter horizontal distance to offset)- Select Objects: Choose the closed polylines you want to offset.
- Offset Direction: Specify the direction—Inwards or Outwards.
- Horizontal Offset Distance: Enter the desired distance for the offset.
The CP_INOUTOFFSET command enhances productivity by allowing rapid and accurate adjustments to closed polylines, making it an essential tool for efficient design modifications.
