Once you create a duplicate parallel or offset entity, it becomes a separate independent entity. You can edit, move, or delete either the original or the duplicate without affecting the other. Creating an offset or parallel duplicate of a polyline or polygon differs slightly from doing the same thing with lines, arcs, and circles. Holding CTRL while clicking on a segment causes AutoSketch to duplicate a single segment rather than the entire entity. To create a parallel line, arc, or circle 1 On the Draw menu, click Duplicate, Parallel, or click the Parallel button on the All-In-One toolbar. 2 Click the line, arc, or circle you want to duplicate. A rubber-band entity follows the movement of the pointer. 3 Position the rubber-band entity in the new location and click. To create a duplicate line, arc, or circle that is offset at a specific distance 1 On the Draw menu, click Duplicate, then click Offset, or click the Offset button on the All-In-One toolbar. 2 (optional) Enter a new value in the Offset Distance text box on the edit bar and press ENTER. 3 Position the pointer on, and slightly toward the side where you want AutoSketch to create the new entity and click. Notice that a rubber-band entity follows the pointer. To create a parallel polyline or polygon 1 On the Draw menu, click Duplicate, Parallel, or click the Parallel button on the All-In-One toolbar. 2 (optional) Press CTRL to duplicate a single segment. 3 Click the polyline or polygon you want to duplicate. A rubber-band entity follows the movement of the pointer. 4 Position the rubber-band entity in the new location and click. 278 | Chapter 22 Moving, Rotating, & Resizing Entities
