Offset Objects To Current Layer

The new version of the offset command has some new features that are great. For example instead of having to offset a object and changing the line type and layer like you are used to let me show you something new (in case you don't already know).

The normal result of offsetting a object 25' looks like the following. It has the same characteristics of the parent object.






Let's say your current layer is setbacks and you are offsetting boundary lines to create your setback lines
To do this start the offset command and change the settings as follows; 1.Offset 2.L for layer 3. C for current



The end result should look like the following. The new offset object inherits the layer settings of the setback layer.
