# About Offsetting Objects [GstarCAD 2027](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Index.md) → [Commands](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/(Commands).md) → [Concepts](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/02%20Concepts/(Concepts).md) **About Offsetting Objects** If you want to generate a new object with a shape parallel to the shape of the original object, you can offset an object.  If the offset distance is bigger than what can be contained, 2D polylines and splines will be trimmed automatically.  --- [Original help](https://www.gstarcad.net/help/GstarCAD_2027_en-US/detail/commandReferences/About%20Offsetting%20Objects.html) · © Gstarsoft Co., Ltd.
