Axis offset
Axis Offset has been developed to produce axes at certain distance parallel to the
existing axes. By this method, the axes in a project can be produced very quickly by
entering the intermediate distances. It can be used in two ways.
Offset from the last drawn axis;
Click Draw/Entities/Axis/Axis.
The axis toolbar will appear on the screen.
Enter the distance you want in the Axis Offset Toolbox on the axis toolbar. The value can be both negative or positive. The sign of
the value states the direction of the axis to be drawn with respect to the
existing axis e.g. if the reference axis is a horizontal axis and the value is
positive, the new axis is drawn to the upper side of the reference axis. If the
value is negative, it will be drawn to the below the reference axis.
Click the Axis Offset icon.
The axis will be drawn. (If fast drawing mode is inactive change the name of
the axis or approve the default name by pressing enter.)
Press enter to repeat command.
Enter a new value in the Axis Offset box.
Press enter from the keyboard.
A new axis will be drawn at the entered distance from the last drawn axis.
The method explained above is a very practical method, when the axes are
entered in a series. However, sometimes it may be necessary to add new axes between
the existing axis system. In this case, it may be necessary to enter distance
with respect to any existing axis. To do this:
Select the axis to be taken as reference by left-clicking with the mouse.
Apply the steps described above.
The distance of the new axis drawn will be set with respect to the axis you
selected.
The Axis Offset command does not work on arc axes.
