OFFSET like CAD - any direction for Lines & Polylines and Shapes Command

This has likely been requested before, but the only command that is not fully represented in Bluebeam to make it compete with Even AutoCAD drafting commands is OFFSET.

I believe that if Bluebeam had a TRUE way to offset parallel the way that ACAD does it, I would likely draw a lot more details directly in Bluebeam.
Otherwise, Great Program!

Multiply was a nice addition @Kelvin Ng. Very useful, but somewhat limited.

At #UNBOUND25 they said that there is an offset command coming in 2026 that should get you closer to what you are suggesting @Jay Rohrer - AECOM

This is not the same thing, multiply is too cumbersome and slow.

There needs to be an offset option. Whoever closed that thread as 'already offered' is wrong. Upvote here from me.
