### Set Origin Offset Distance

The Offset Distance box allows you to translate the alignment origin by a specified offset distance.

To use the Set Origin Offset:

1. Click in the Offset Distance box.

2. Type a desired value for the offset distance.

3. Click the Origin button.

The Origin button won’t be active until a value is entered into the Offset distance box or an existing offset sub-command (ALIGNMENT/TRANS_OFFSET) is selected. If an existing offset sub-command is selected, it will be modified to use the new Offset distance value. If not, a new offset sub-command will be created.

For information on alignment sub-commands, see "Alignment Sub-Command List".

The Edit window command line for this option reads:
ALIGNMENT/TRANS_OFFSET,'axis','numeric_value

Changeable field: "axis"
This is the axis direction the alignment will be translated in.

Changeable field: "numeric_value"
This is the distance the alignment will be translated. The translation will be in the direction specified by the "axis" field.
