Introduction
An Offset Line is a constructed line
parallel to an
existing measured or constructed 2D Line. The resulting Line
can be used in constructions such as Part Coordinate System Alignments.
Creating an Offset Line
To build an Offset Line, start by first
identifying in your part inspection one measured or constructed 2D Line. Highlight the
Line and choose from the main drop down
menus [Construct→Construct an Offset Line].

Offset Line Data Entry |
Should Geomet not be able to identify the
highlighted feature as a compatible Line, or more than one feature is
selected, Geomet will display a warning. Geomet also validates that the
highlighted Line is in the current Part Coordinate System.
Entering Nominal Offset Data
Enter to required nominal offset value. This value
is sign sensitive to direct the Offset Tool which side of the reference
line the new line should be created. Upon acceptance of
the nominal offset value, Geomet will create a new 2D Line.
