Offset Lines

On the Mining | Pit Design tab, in the Generate group: Click Offset Lines to generate lines that are offset from a selected string or strings.

If you have not already selected the strings you want to generate offset lines for, you will prompted to do so.

The Offset Lines form is then displayed which allows you to specify the distance and the direction in which the lines will be offset. Use the buttons on the local toolbar to Manage the rows in the list.

Offsets
