how do i offset

[moak]

It's a bit involved (maybe someone else knows an easier way). I learned this recently after having used Chief for 2+ years.

Preferences - Edit Behaviors - Edit Type - Concentric, set jump amount to your offset

Select object - select Multiple Copy tool - Grab circular handle on the object - drag in direction of desired offset

You may want to set the Edit Type back to its previous setting when you're through.
