Bob,
If you had 4 boxes in the drawing, then you are meaning to do an offset for all of the 4 boxes at once?
I don't remember ever doing that.
I wouldn't do that because if something is wrong ( say they are different and one of them has a problem with the selected offset / tool ) then your back to doing them one at a time......
Usualy i create an offset so i can do a specific machining opertation on that offset.
The selected entities which will be offset must be connected / form a closed chain. A layer can be made up of 4 entities that make up 1 box
thus you can create an offset of it.
Or 4 entities anywhere can be selected, and then connected and thus create an offset of them ( but that is like trying to use LC as a drawing program and that is really not recommended ).
Back in a short, let me try something......
