Overview

This section provides a brief overview of the Automated Offset tables.

The Automated Offset table defines the parameters when using the Automated Offset command. For more information see, Creating an Automated Offset.

In Data Setup, this table should be assigned to:

  • when using file-based tables, the Automated Offset item in the resource table of Raceway Design Resources.
  • when using Engineering Specification objects, a specification in the resource table of Raceway Specification Resources.
