Offset Command in AutoCAD
The offset command in AutoCAD is used to create a parallel copy of a selected object at a specified distance. This command is useful for creating uniform shapes, boundaries, or paths.
To use the offset command:
- Type OFFSET or O in the command line.
- Enter the offset distance or specify it by selecting two points.
- Select the object you want to offset.
- Choose the side where you want the offset object to appear.
- Repeat the process or press Enter to finish the command.
The offset command helps in creating precise and consistent designs by generating parallel copies of objects.
