Parallel Selection

Post by GizFab » Thu Jul 21, 2022 10:09 am

Morning, Is it possible to use the Parallels tool to create a Parallel around an entire selection without having to click each node/ spline separately?

For example some Text? Could i select the letter "A" and be able to one-click a 3mm Border/ Parallel around the letter?

I hope this makes sense.

Yes:

Text would have to be exploded first into polylines:
