Modifying Offsets

You can edit offset value by double-clicking on it.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin: Create a simple pad. Return to the Sketcher and create an offset.

Edit Offset Values

You can edit offset value by double-clicking on it.

  1. Double-click the offset value you want to edit.
    The Parameter Definition dialog box appears.

  2. In the Value box, enter a new value.
  3. Click OK to confirm.
    The offset gets modified accordingly.

Modify Offset Parameters

When offsetting a face, if there is an intersection between the face and the sketch plane, by default, this intersection becomes an offset (rather than the projection of the face edges).

In this case, if you want to offset the projection of the face edges, you can modify the offset as explained in this task. You can also edit the offset mark obtained by offsetting an intersection edge.

  1. Double-click the offset in the tree (Offset node) or on the sketch.

    The Offset Definition dialog box appears.

  2. In the Object to offset box, select the new sketcher element you want to offset.

    Important: The selection of new reference element can be propagated, and replaced by a semantic edge (intersection edge, tangent intersection edge, or tangent edge), if either Intersection edges activation or Tangent Intersection edges activation is activated in the App Options panel before the selection.

  3. In the Offset value box, specify a new value.
  4. In the Offset mode box, select Project and offset.
  5. Optional: Select the No Canonical Curve check box to create a complex curve instead of canonical curve.

    Important: The No Canonical Curve check box is cleared by default. In this case, a canonicity detection is performed according to the app tolerance, in other words the app tries to recognize sketcher elements like line or conic curves.

  6. Click OK to validate.
    The offset is modified.
