3 In the graphics window, orient and zoom the view as shown in the
following illustration, and then select point 1.
A segment work point is created at the selected point.
4 Move the cursor over the bottom of the enclosure until the tooltip and
offset symbol appear. The tooltip displays the offset value as 0.100 in,
and the symbol shows the actual offset distance as a guide for your
selections.

5 Before you select the second point, increase the offset to prepare for a
branch that is created in a later exercise. To increase the offset, right-click,
select Edit Offset from the context menu, and then enter 0.270.
NOTE Units are not required when entering offset values. If no unit is specified
the default unit setting is used.
6 For the second point orient and zoom the view as shown, and then select
a point based on the bottom of the enclosure.
As you make your selections, a straight line appears from the selected
point to the current cursor position. The system draws the line between
the points as selections are made.
