Inventor 2015 What’s New – Sketch Offset

By Luke Davenport

 

 

Continuing our little mini-series – one of my personal favourites – the new sketch offset tool that is practically unbreakable. For those of us who have struggled to offset anything but the simplest of geometry (due to smaller lines intersecting) this is an absolute lifesaver. I thought I’d use the complicated geometry of the Cadline logo to demonstrate this…

 

 

Brilliant!
