Horseflesh Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 A tool like Illustrator's Offset Path is absolutely critical for many of my laser cutter projects ... thanks a million for putting it in our toolbox. And it has the miter option, also required for my needs! This makes a really big impact on my effort to abandon Adobe 100%. Well, I think Inkscape has the feature too, but I'd rather poke out my eye than use Inkscape most days. As others have said it would be nice to have an option to leave the original object behind too, sure. But for my projects I only need one contour on any object and I actually love how it works now, remembering that the object has a contour on it until you bake it in. I'm usually adding a contour of ~0.007" (or half that) which you can't see at normal working zooms ... so having a reminder in the toolbar that an object has been contoured is fantastic. FYI, I use the feature to make laser cut parts that snap together like puzzle pieces, for example this journal cover. Mark Ingram 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
