Hi all,

I Have a special shape as outline and I would like to have the place keepin shape the same as the outline but with the 50 mils clearence.

 I have 16.3

regards

Jonathan

    Use “Edit – Z copy”  In your options you can choose the 50 mil “Contract” distance.  You may need to ensure that you are working with a closed shape first.  Have fun.
