Actually, this is possible in TurboCad. I did exactly what I wanted to do in TC. I was hoping there was a way in Dolphin to do it.
Basically, I drew the drawing 1/4" too narrow. I wanted to move one whole side a 1/4" over and then extend the lines to meet the new locations.
What I ended up doing was to use the "Move" icon to move each element of the left side of the drawing over 1/4" (or .250") and then used the "Intersect" command to lengthen the connecting lines.
Hard to explain, but it worked. I'll pay more attention to my measurements from now on. LOL.
I got the part drawn the way I want it and I am now working on figuring out the CAM part so that I can hopefully mill it today.
