JoeS09 Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Hello, can anyone please tell me the individual steps involved in offsetting that half of a spline to the left of the line shown in the attached drawing done in AutoCAD 2018? Spline offset.dwg Spline offset.dxf Quote
SLW210 Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Not sure why you are having trouble, pretty straight forward. The OFFSET SPLINE looks very little like the original. Break either side and extend (or BREAK @point?), then OFFSET>20 Command: BR BREAK Select object: Specify second break point or [First point]: Command: EX EXTEND Current settings: Projection=UCS, Edge=None, Mode=Quick Select object to extend or shift-select to trim or [Boundary edges/Crossing/mOde/Project]: Select object to extend or shift-select to trim or [Boundary edges/Crossing/mOde/Project/Undo]: *Cancel* Command: O OFFSET Current settings: Erase source=No Layer=Source OFFSETGAPTYPE=0 Specify offset distance or [Through/Erase/Layer] <Through>: 20 Quote
Dadgad Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Are you expecting the offset Spline to be identical to the original? It won't be. Quote
JoeS09 Posted March 31, 2021 Author Posted March 31, 2021 Hi again, many thanks for these replied, very helpful. firstly, I am a newby, and have never came across the BREAK command before secondly, the spline was a quick and irty one drawn for this thread. The odds are 1,000,000 to one that the two halves were almost identical Quote
