Offset is used to create contoured vector objects which are parallel to other active objects. The new shape can either be created inside or outside of the existing shape.
- Make a vector layer visible and active in the Layers Palette and activate one or more vector objects on it.
- Go to Vector Menu > Offset and enter the Offset distance needed.
- Click OK. A contour vector will be created parallel to and at the specified distance from the selected shape.

Note: To change the side of the offset (inside or outside), enter a negative value or change in the Offset… setting window. The offset vector will be placed inside the existing vector shape.
