•The new objects are placed on the editable layer. So processing across layers is possible as well. •It is possible to select several objects at the same time and create parallels. |
1.Select the objects you want to create a parallel.
2.Select the Create Parallel tool and type in the corresponding settings.
3.Enter the distance and the way you want to create the parallel: To the left, right (linear objects), inside, outside (area objects) or both sides.
4.Define the styles of the object(s) that will be created.
5.You can apply several options:
Close line ends: The ends of the lines of the created parallel are connected to the source object.
Create Regions: By choosing the option above, you can specify if the objects created will be regions (polygons).
Delete source objects: Creates the parallels and deletes the selected source objects.
Show line direction: The options "left" and "right" depend on the direction the line has been digitized. Using this option you can display the direction which might be unknown to you.
