Used to move an element
(line, line string, multi-line, curve, arc, ellipse, shape, complex chain, or
complex shape), or copy an element, segment of an element or portion of an
element, parallel to the original.

|
Copy a segment of an element.
|
| Portion of Element

| Mode
|
Determines the method by which the gap created, by
moving two connected elements to a parallel location, is filled.
- Miter — Extends or
shortens connecting segments while maintaining the angle of their connections.
- Round — Fills the
gap with a rounded arc between the two moved elements.
- Original — Fills in
the gap in the manner that the resulting element is the same type as the
original element. For some element types — for example, ellipses — original
does not produce a true parallel offset. With an ellipse Miter or Round results
in a B-spline, a true parallel offset, rather than an ellipse.
|
| Distance
|
If on, lets you define the distance to move or copy
the element.
|
| Use Active Attributes
|
If on, the moved or copied element takes on the
active attributes.
If off, the moved or copied element retains the
attributes of the existing element.
|
| Make Copy
|
(Element only) If on, makes a copy of the selected
element.

instead use the

in conjunction with AccuDraw to constrain element movement.
