Routing Flexibles with an Offset

	This task explains how you can route a flexible using one of two offset features.
	You can use either the `Bottom Offset` or the `Center` `Offset` features. A field for entering the offset value will become available when you click either of these buttons. You can also offset from a reference plane. If you use bottom offset then the offset will be measured from the surface to the bottom edge of the flexible. If you use center offset then the offset will be measured from the surface to the center spline of the flexible. If you click the `Offset` `From` a `Reference` `Plane` button then the offset will be from the reference plane to the edge or center of the flexible, depending on which option you are using. You should be familiar with the settings and options explained in Routing a Flexible.
	1.	With your document open, bring up the `Flexible` `Routing` dialog box. Select other options as needed, then click the `Bottom` `Offset` or `Center` `Offset` button and enter a value in the `Offset` field. Click on the surface you want to route on and click `Apply` or double-click to end routing. The flexible will be created.
	The offset is measured at the points that you click. If you have too much slack, or length, then the flexible may go through the surface. If this happens then you need to adjust the slack or length.
	2.	To use the reference plane to offset from, place a reference plane on a surface, such as an edge. Bring up the `Flexible` `Routing` dialog box, then click the `Bottom` `Offset` or `Center` `Offset` button. If you do not want any bottom or center offset then enter 0. Click the `Offset` `From` a `Reference` `Plane` button and enter a value in the field. This is the distanced between the reference plane and the flexible. In the image below you can see that you will only be able to route the flexible at the offset distance. Route your flexible, and double-click or click `Apply` to end.
	3.	Click `OK` to close the `Flexible` `Routing` dialog box`.`
