Offsetting a sketch makes it easier for us to duplicate existing sketch entities at an offset from the original sketch entity. The following diagram shows an example of a sketch and its Offset Distance from the Original Sketch. Note that the original image is the one we sketch first; after that, the Offset sketch is created by applying the Offset Entities sketch command. The Offset sketch is defined by inputting an Offset Distance:
To illustrate how we can create an Offset Distance, we will create the sketch shown in the following diagram:
We will use the MMGS measurement system for this exercise. To sketch the given ...
