We used to import IGES file to LS-PREPOST (as attached picture 1), but did not find out any way to define parameters (the distance between gaps and the offset of the gap). Thus, we tried to make the part in LS-PREPOST using offset in element edit tools. Its result (as attached picture 2) is not totally same as our original ones and I still do not find out the way to define the parameters.<\/p>\n<p>I have some questions about these two:<\/p>\n<p>1. Is there any other way I could do the offset more likely to my original ones?<\/p>\n<p>2.
