offseting a line in sketch mode

[skwasim_smile]

Hello All,


Iam sorry if iam repeating this question again the forum, but yest when i was doing a model and trying to build up sketch for the same i noticed that there is no option to offset line in the sketch mode, sorry to say this but i never felt use of that option before, but still i felt strange because this option i have found in every othere CAD package.


can you please help me out how to deal with these kind of situation if a need arise or am i missing the option in pro-e


thanks for your help in advance

You can only offset entities created in a previous feature. 'Create Entities from Edge' is the same.

Offset tool is found here:

Hello Neuronex,


Thank you for the effort yaa ur right offset can be done only when there is a feature already created... the other best way to do is sketch a profile using THIN option and then define the thickness... i hope this solves the question i have put up...but i wonder have PTC introduced OFFSET option in W.F-5.0.

I believe you can do this in WF5

Yes, it can be done in WF5. Unfortunately the offset only creates sketch entities without the offset dimension. You have to dimension the offseted entities manually.
