Title: Offseting from Block or Xref
Post by: MSTG007 on September 23, 2016, 08:04:39 AM: Having a moment here. I can not seem to find a routine that can Offset from a block or xref into the current dwg. Or is there a command within CAD that I cant seem to remember? lol. Thanks for any help.

Post by: MSTG007 on September 23, 2016, 01:50:48 PM: Yup, that is what I have been doing. OR even better... I redraw the line and offset it and then delete the previous line I drew! lol. Its all good. Thought I'd ask.
