Offset Lines and Plines

In Architectural plans, most used command for drawing inner/outer walls is the OFFSET.
OFFSET actually makes a simlar line/pline/circle object to a specified distance.
Some times we need TWO offsets on both sides of LINE/PLINE and then want to remove that center line/pline.
This is the case, where we first draw a CENTER-LINE-PLAN and then wants to draw walls inside/outside while removing the center line.

This command helps you much better for this task.
Just gives the OFFSET distance and then pick a LINE/PLINE, this command will make 2 adjacent LINES/PLINES with a distance (OFFSET distance) apart and then removes the center line.
