Use Toolbox > Outlines & Offsets to create outlines and offsets of any type for any filled embroidery or closed vector object. |
The Outlines & Offsets tool allows you to specify both negative and positive offsets.
1Select a source object/s and click the Outlines & Offsets icon.
2Tick Create offsets and define a simple offset object in the Offset Pattern panel.
3Set the required offset in millimeters:
3To center the offset object over the original, enter a value of 0.00.
3To position the offset object outside the original, enter a positive offset – e.g. 1.00.
3To position the offset object inside the original, enter a negative offset – e.g. -1.00.
4If you want multiple offsets, enter a value in the Number of patterns field.
5Select Pattern spacing and enter the required offset in millimeters. Offsets are always offset in a positive direction, even if you have entered a negative number. Spacing is calculated from the previous object, not the source object.
Note: As an alternative to the above technique, you can define your negative offsets entirely as a single offset pattern. Note how you set up the spacings.
