Hi all,

I feel particularly silly asking this question because it seems so obvious but I can't figure it out.

So there's this shape... I'd just like to make an inner border that is exactly 2mm inset from the original in yellow. When I try to scale, the vertical borders are much closer than the top ones.






Could someone help this idiot out please! :)

In this situation I suggest you try 'offset'
cheers,
eric

Eric, thank you!

Hi Gunter, yes it seems intuitive that scale would work for that since you want to shrink down the shape.

But to maintain a constant thickness requires changing some of the proportions of the shape, while scaling maintains proportions.

Hi Michael, yes I understand that now. Thanks and have a great weekend.
