In this video I will tell you about the offset command of Autocad.
So here we have these two simple geometries and we will use offset command on them.
So from the pipe and then select this offset to now look at the command line.
It prompts you to specify an opposite distance so let's elect to as the offset distance and press enter.
Now you need to select the object which you want to offsets in this case.
I also like this line.
And now look at the second line.
So now a copy of this line has been made here on this direction because it is towards the side.
But if a movement goes in here a new copy will be made on the side.
So you can simply click on the side of the line and the copy will be made like this.
Now if you want to create another copy of this object simply click on this line and click here.
In a similar way you can keep creating copies of this line on either side using the offset tool and
the gap between all of these lines is to unit select or press Escape key and press control Z.
Now let's say that we want to make multiple copies of this line without selecting the offset tool again
and again for that select offset tool.
Now especially if I had the offset distance which is due in this case and now select the object and
from the command line select this multiple option.
Now you can see that our command is still in continuation.
Even after clicking so I clicked and still we have this come on.
And now you can keep on clicking on the side where you want to create multiple offsets.
You can repeat the process for this site as well.
So now let's press escape again and lets press control Z.
Now if you don't want to specify any particular distance for offset you can use the through options
or select to offset tool.
And now here we have this through option select select it and now select the object.
And now you'll notice that the offset geometry will follow a cursor so we can simply click here to make
the geometry.
And you can select it once again and make another copy at some random distance dynamically by clicking
anywhere in the drawing area.
Now again press Escape key to exit the command and press control Z to get back here.
Now if you want to create an offset by it is in the source object that also you can do.
And for that once again select the offset tool.
And now from your command line select this it is option.
And here you'll notice that it is Source Object after offsetting option has been said to not that's
why the copy of the original object is made and that it is in this object so I'll select Yes.
In this case and I once again repeat the process so I'll type 2 as the offset distance like on this
object and now pick a particular distance.
And here we have it.
The original object has been deleted and an offset copy has been made here.
So you can again go back to offset command and go to the series and change it to know once again.
And now if you offset the origin object will also be retained.
You can use offset command on this geometry as well.
And for that I will once again select the offset tool.
And now here also specify the distance Alexa's specify one as the distance the offset distance PRESENTER
And now click on the object and not block outside and you'll notice that a copy will be made outside.
And now let's get to our original object and look inside.
So we have two copies one outside and one inside and the distance between all of these object is one
unit.
So the distance between this rectangle and this one is one unit on all the sites.
Similarly the distance between this line segment and this line segment of the rectangle is also one
unit.
So let's now it is both of them.
And now let's look at some other options related to the offset too.
So either the offset is making the similar imagery which we have made here.
But if you want to apply a rounded corners on the offset geometry you can do that by changing the offset
gap type system variable.
So let's type offset gap type and press enter.
And now here you'll notice that the default value of this offset gap variable is set to zero.
Let's change this value to 1.
And press ENTER NOW we will again make the offsets or select the offset to specify offset distance as
one press entered and now click on the object and click outside.
And now we have a different geometry here.
In this case the that has been applied are the rounded corners are applied with a radius of one unit.
So that's the same radius which is equal to the Gap of this object or the offset gap in a similar way.
You can also apply a chamfer and Jampot is simply a straight line.
So let's see it is this geometry.
And let's change the value of offset gap type system variables.
Let's type an offset gap type press enter and agin disvalue to do and press enter.
Now once again I select the offset tool again and select one is offset distance.
And now in this case instead of fill it a Chamfort has been a flight so I'll once again type offset
gap type system variable and change its value to default zero.
And now we can make the normal geometries using the opposite tool.
So once again I select offset I select the through option and now click on the object.
And now you can see that we have a normal geometry here just like this.
