Sketch Offset Spline

Help...

Is there any way to offset a spline in sketch mode (Solidworks 2003 SP1) or do I have to re-sketch the projected outline of my model with arcs and lines?

OR -

Can I convert splines to something else that can be offset

Any help appreciated,

Rob

RE: Sketch Offset Spline

Currently SW does not support offset splines.

loooong workaround

•Make an extruded surface from your spline sketch
•Offset the extruded surface as needed
•Use edge of offset surface in a new sketch

IIRC, you can open a NEW sketch, select the spline and then do an offset.
