How to offset the whole LAYER?
When I select the layer, and do offset, it only applies to the last entity of the selected layer.

It may help to tell us what you are using and what layer you want to offset.

Well, I try to offset layer with text, where every letter is an entity.
Basically, i export my design from CorelDraw in PLT, then load to Lazycam.
For example I would like to mill these letters, and to tell LAZYCAM to offset them 6mm (INSIDE - this is diameter of my flat mill).
thanks.

Hi, Skartalov
Post your PLT file, Use the REPLY Button and Attach It please.

OK, this is the file.
I would like to offset (Inside) everything but the lines at once.
How to do that?

Hi, Skartalov
Loaded your file, Clean, Optimize, Set the short lines to a New layer "#2", Set Outer Box to New layer "#3".
Offset didn't work very well, So I set the text and short lines to .030 Depth and the box to .100.
You should be able to cut this with a engraving type tool, Pointy end cutter.
Hera's a G-code and .LCAM file to look at.
Hope this Helps, Chip
