The Offset i-Line - Copy function allows you to create a series of evenly spaced, parallel i-Lines. You select one i-Line in your layout as the starting point for these parallel lines. Then, you define the distance that will appear between the i-Lines. When you place copies of the i-Line, they appear parallel to the original and evenly spaced at the distance you entered.
