The actual distance for pixel offsets depends on zoom level. Zoom in for finer adjustment. All the (, ) commands convert the object to path, if necessary, and produce regular path.

|
Create dynamic offset |

|
Create linked offset |

These commands produce an offset object, editable by the node tool, standalone or linked to the original.
|

|
Select source. Selecting a linked offset and giving this command will select the source path of the linked offset |
||
|
Combine paths. This is different from grouping in that combined paths create one object. This is different from Union in that overlapping areas are not affected. Whether overlapping areas are filled is controlled by the Fill: winding/alternating switch on the Fill & Stroke dialog |
||
|
Break paths apart. This attempts to break an object into constituent paths; it will fail if the object is one solid path |
