"You're surface comes to a point and there is just no way to make an offset with it. You can make a copy of it and scale it down. I copied it from the bottom edge midpoint out .2mm. Then I used Scale from the midpoint…"

Can we have a 0,0,0 OSnap? I have a keyboard shortcut for '0,0,0' and for whatever reason, during the Mirror command it toggles the Copy parameter. Highly frustrating. I select 0,0,0 so many times…Continue

Patch
I just watched this video and had a question:http://vimeo.com/65322306Can the patch command have a edge deviation calculator?

"Here's an easier idea. Place a Point object at 0,0 on it's own layer and Lock it. Then the existing Point Osnap will work for you.
If this works for you then make it part of your Template files."
