The OFFSET
command (alias O
, on the Modify toolbar, or Modify main menu) allows the user to create parallel entities. By default, it prompts for the distance, one entity selection and to which side is the parallel entity. Entity selection and side prompts are repeated until pressing Enter or Esc keys:

Instead of a distance, the Through point
option allows parallel entities passing over specified points, thus enabling different distances...
