Offset Curve in Dynamic Component?
-
Hello
Apologies if this has been asked and answered elsewhere....
Is it possible to embed a fixed offset function - or variable offset, for that matter - in a dynamic component?
For example, I'd like to be able to have a complex curve in 2D with a similar curve offset so that when X or Y is scaled on the main curve, the perpendicular distance on the offset curve stays the same.
Can this be done? Does it need scripting?
Thanks for any thoughts...

With DC, you can copy, move, rotate and scale a shape but you can't make an offset.
If you need to do this dynamically, I think you must script in Ruby. -

Thanks; that's what I suspected....
