Do you have any projects that would be beneficial to others?

John,
I have a good
(I think ) subject for at least a part of a tutorial:
Trying to make a VBA-macro similar to the "offset" command. I've created a dialog that prompts the user to specify a start and endpoint and depending on which optionbutton the user selects its supposed to offset the first line on both sides at different distances. Also depending on another optionbutton its supposed to put the line in different layers
What do you think of this ?
Regards
Mr. P

Mr. P,
This looks like a good idea - How many times have all drafters used the offset tool and then had to alter the offset distance to offset another line.
An example of this is drawing construction lines that are at differing distances from each other. To do this we select offset command, input the distance, select the line, then point in the offset direction. For another offset we now must select enter or offset command, change the distance, select the line and point in the offset direction.
How about we create an automated tool for multiple offsets from either the original line or the newly offset line?
We can also add layering and other usefull tools.

John,
Your suggestion sounds great. I'm looking forward to that. I suppose we are going to take a look at dealing with points in VBA. This is a bit complicated I think.

Mr. P.

John,
What about: "an automated tool for multiple offsets" you spoke of in december?
Anyway, just a reminder.....
