Is it possible to offset Curves/lines in ANSYS?

Is it possible to offset Curves/lines in ANSYS?

Is it possible to offset Curves/lines in ANSYS?

(OP)
Is there a command/macro to offset lines in ANSYS? By OFFSET i mean the keypoints should move normal to lines to the specified distance. I know LGEN works for straight lines and circular arcs but what about other irregular curves? (Its cumbersome to find the centers of every segment and use LGEN)

Thanks,
Nodal.

RE: Is it possible to offset Curves/lines in ANSYS?

If you are using ANSYS design modeler, there is an option to offset the entire geometry/lines/arcs etc.

Yes. But its not just moving in X or Y direction. the keypoints should move normal to original curve to a specified offset distance and the offset curve should pass through these points. (just like we offset lines in solidworks,autocad  etc).
