This tool creates one or more vector objects, adopting the shape of the selected object block. Objects can be created outside or inside the outline (contour) of the object block. The separation between each created objects (offset value) can be customized. This function is enabled when a block (one object, several objects or the whole design) is selected.
|
You can create vector objects using the offset contour tool, even when the object block contains objects of different decoration specialties.
