Inflate Path

Inflate Path expands a 2D path outward, making the shape larger while maintaining its overall form. This is similar to applying a uniform offset to all edges.

How to Use

  1. Select a 2D path
  2. Apply Inflate Path from the Path operations menu
  3. Adjust the inflation amount

Tips

  • Use negative values to shrink the path inward instead of expanding
  • Inflate is useful for creating tolerance offsets around shapes
  • Combine with Outline Path for creating borders with specific widths
