Offset move curve in Nx Siemens| how to create curves at distance from existing lines, arcs, conics 



Use the Offset Curve command to create curves at a distance from existing lines, arcs, conics, splines and edges. 

Offset curves are constructed through points calculated normal or at a vector to the selected base curves. You can choose whether to associate the offset curves to their input data. 

Curves can be offset: In the plane defined by the selected geometry. To a parallel plane using the draft angle and height options. 
Along a vector you specify when using the 3D Axial method. Multiple curves can only be offset if they are in a contiguous string. 
The object types of the resulting curves are the same as their input curves, except for conics and curves created using the Rough Offset option or the 3D Axial method, which are offset as splines. 

If the input string is linear, you must define a plane by defining a point which is not collinear with the input string. This plane is used as the offset plane. You can create four different types of offset curves.
