Offsetting objects
You can create a replica of a path, set off
from the selected path by a specified
distance, using the Offset Path filter.
This is useful when you want to create
concentric shapes or make many repli-
cations of a path at a regular distance
from the original path. You can create an
offset path from a closed path or an
open path; if created from a closed path,
the new offset path appears the speci-
fied distance outside or inside the
original path.
Original Offset paths: –2 pts.
