AzMandella Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I was wondering if there was any way to automatically enlarge some dimnesions. If I were to draw a 24 x 24 square with a 12" O.D. hole in the center. Is there a way of making the outside .08 larger and the circle .08 smaller? Other than redrawing.

ReMark Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Use the Offset command. Retain the new objects and erase the old ones. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 You could also use the Scale command. Do the math first to calculate the % increase in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totzky Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 And for the circle's diameter, you can use the properties dialogue box (ctrl+1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzMandella Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Use the Offset command. Retain the new objects and erase the old ones. Done. But that only let's me offset each part individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzMandella Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Allright I figured it out. I just have to convert all the object lines to a polyline and then offset. Cool thanx guy's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannabe Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Sounds like you could have used the scale --> reference command as well - particularly useful if you would have needed to keep the items as individuial entities. Look it up if you dont know the comman. A very useful tool to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
