multiple offset: how to??

Paopao — Thu, 25 May 2023 14:51:28 GMT

Hi guys, this is the problem: I need to draw my own stairs so I need to be able to use the multiple offset (at 0.3 cm each) to show the stair in plant: how do I do it instead of repeating for each step the offset command? Is there a way to do it automatically?

thanks for your help,
PP

use command+U which is "Multiply"

A couple other ways: Use the Multiple Offset command in the Control Box (menu Windows>Palettes>Control Box) or use the Drag a Copy/Drag Multiple Copies Method. See image below

I think Eduardo's method may be the best though, just thought I might present some other ways if the situation better fit them.

This, plus use the "spread" option would work great for your purpose.

use multiply and spread, set your distance to 3 and drag your cursor in the direction you want to array the object
