Would you please consider a new Lock button for offset value so for large number of offsets we don’t enter the constant value each time?! See vid below

It should be implemented as a constraint like in other CAD systems. We will definitely consider it.

Why not add a X multiplicative factor? Say X 10 and you get 10 offset lines.

Additionally, a set of equally spaced lines would be nice to have…

Thanks for listening…

Best,
