The functions described in this section enable you to create offset entities from edges and 3D curve segments from normal, chain and loop selection.

Functions Introduced:

The function ProSectionEntityUseOffset() creates a sketched entity that is offset at a specified distance from a single edge. This function takes as input a ProSelection object describing the 3D model entity.

The function ProSectionEntityUseOffsetChain() creates sketched entities that are offset from a chain of edges or entities and the function ProSectionEntityUseOffsetLoop() creates sketched entities offset from a loop of edges or entities.

The behavior of the functions in this section is similar to the offset operation achieved using Sketch > Offset in Creo+.
