Drawing Equidistant (Parallel) Contours
To create a contour equidistant to an existing contour:
1. Click Equidist in Geometry.
2. Enter the separation required for the equidistant/parallel contour.
3. Click the start point of the existing contour.
4. Select the elements to be copied (Creo Elements/Direct Drafting will allow you to skip to the final element, provided you do not pass more than one branch element that is not to be copied).
5. Indicate the side on which the equidistant contour is to be drawn.
If you require a particular section of a contour to be copied:
1. Follow steps 1 to 4 above.
2. When you have indicated the desired section, click End.
3. Specify the side on which the equidistant contour is to be drawn.
