Single Parallel Path

Arbortext IsoDraw > User's Reference > Palette Window Toolbox > Parallel Paths > Single Parallel Path

This tool lets you generate parallels for selected elements.

Select the element(s) you want to generate parallels for. Select the single parallel path

tool (Drawing of parallel paths) from the toolbox. The cursor becomes an arrow tip

. Click one of the selected elements with the mouse button. Hold down the mouse button and move the mouse away from the element you have clicked on. When you move the mouse you will be able to see how the parallel path will look. When you release the mouse button, Arbortext IsoDraw will generate the path.

If you want to maintain a specific distance (offset), hold down the SHIFT key while you click the original element. The following dialog box appears:

Enter a value for the offset. If you want to generate parallels on both sides of the original elements, select generate parallels on both sides. Confirm with OK.

Parallels will be generated on one or both sides of the original elements depending on your inputs.
