Could someone post an Alt G (DCADWIN.MCR) string for offset that will work with Datacad 11.

my string from dcad 10 G^:^F6^F3^F1^F2^F1^F2^S9^ DOESN'T WORK
EACH TIME.

THANKS

Hi Marc & welcome,

Here's the Alt(-O) shortcut I use, that works in v11. I've changed it for your Alt-G:

G^Ä^20#^F3^F2^F2

You'll notice that if you do a New Distance, then you don't have to then pick Perp Distance. Also, I just noticed something interesting: if you do a Dynamic offset, and then do a perpendicular offset -- the distance of the dynamic offset is there as the previous distance! 8)

Thank you very much Neil

I am not quite sure how this forum and posting works but I am glad you received my question and was able to get a reply to me.

Thanks again

Marc
