well You can not do that:)))))) it is Pro\E and it has its own limits for Offset. So You can use sketch but not with text

however, do not be sad, there is work around

first - make a sketch with text
second - make another sketch where You copy first one by Use Edge > loop

now You can use this second sketch to make draft offset, normal offset

so finally what is all about?

simple - Pro\E checks sketcher if it contains text inside made by Text button. If yes, it does not allows You to make offset

but when You just create text by Use EDge - no problem

stupid? - yes

simple? - no
 
Hi Skkubinec and muadib


If u read the thread (url I paste here) u can see how different people do that. what I did, first I make a sketch, in offset command, I go to sketch and use "use edge" option to trace text from previous sketch. by this, u cant pick whole text in one attempt, it will show a msg, "unresolved geometry". so u can trace two or three alphabets at once (depends upon complex edges of alphabet). Try it

I know make text and then other sketch with one loop using but i dont"know how make one datum curve in offset.Because when im remarking this loop in offset comand it is possible only step by step not as one curve.I dont know how extrude this other sketch as normal tu surface.

Mean you offset in edit or in style tool?I m confused.
 
Edit>Offset>with draft feature

it exist,

first pick surf>must be in pink

then offset>expand the menu and choose with draft feature
