How do you offset entities? Did you know there are a whopping seven options in the PropertyManager to help get you to your desired results? Here’s my challenge to you – I want you to pick a command you use regularly, let’s say Extruded Cut for example. The next time you use your chosen command, I want you to work the PropertyManager top to bottom and left to right and make sure you’re not missing an option that could be saving you a ton of time. When it comes to extruded cuts, I’m a big fan of the Flip side to cut checkbox. Let me know which option you discover (or rediscover) that makes you smile
