Topic: Offseting from Block or Xref

[MSTG007]

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.

NCOPY then OFFSET?

[MSTG007]

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.
