Have you customized AutoCAD at all or are you pretty much running it straight as it came out of the box?

Did you try either of my suggestions or was I just whistling in the wind to myself?

It was some time ago I worked with this software, got some things mixed up it seems. Well, still confusing why the multiple option disappeard

Hi there John, greatly appreciated that you take your time to respond!

I use the command "of", I've also used the tool by accessing it through the ribbon area (click the icon), if that was your question? From there I just follow the basic command line...

I used the offset a couple of time and I acknowledged the M between Exit and Undo.... a meanwhile after when I had to offset multiple objects I noticed it was gone? I guess I have changed some settings in some way, but I cant really figure out what has to do with the offset settings?

Yes, that was my immedite thought after I've pulled some hairs for a couple of minutes, I restarted the the program and I was sure it would be back to normal! I'm sorry if I formulated my english in some wierd fashion it's not native.

Thank you for your response again, greatly appreciated Smile

Interesting.  I just got back to my CAD workstation so I'll have to do some checking first.

How are you invoking the command?

Meanwhile, have you tried closing down AutoCAD and restarting it?  Maybe it's a momentary glitch.

Something else you can try is resetting your Workspace from one type to the other than back.

BTW...the Multiple option is for multiple offsets for one object not multiple offsets for more than one object.

to explain it further, I've only got the Exit and Undo option when I'm going to select the object I want to offset, just recently the Multiple option existed, now it disappeard and I cant find any solution to it. Usually I find a solution myself or I just google the problem but I dont get any hits on the specific problem.]]> Wed, 25 Feb 2015 16:52:14 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=11014&PID=29172&title=need-some-basic-quick-help#29172 <![CDATA[Need some basic quick help : Hello all!Im new to this forum...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=11014&PID=29171&title=need-some-basic-quick-help#29171 Author: gsson

Hello all!

Im new to this forum and maybe and hopefully (in some way) I'll visit this site more often in the future! I have used different CAD-softwares throughout my educations (started when i was around 16 years old). I want to freshen up my skills (got a job interview coming up, should have started earlier though) with the AutoCAD so Ive downloaded the a trial version of the AutoCAD and doing some basic tutorial stuff.

For some reason in the middle of my work the option to offset multiple objects disappeard and I can't really figure out how to get it back?? I appreciate the help, and I guess I'm missing something obvious here Tongue

Appreciate all the response I get! Have a nice day
