AutoCAD: Multiple Offset

Offsetting an object or objects sequentially in AutoCAD usually falls to the 'ARRAY' command. When offsetting a single object multiple times an often overlooked option to the 'OFFSET' command can simplify the process. After prompting for an offset distance and selecting an object to offset, AutoCAD presents the following options on the command line:

The multiple option (type 'M' <enter>) instructs AutoCAD not to return to the 'Select Object to Offset' prompt. Clicking again on the side of the object you wish to offset will offset the object in question repeatedly each time you click. Pressing <enter> will return to the 'Select Object to Offset' prompt, while still maintaining the multiple option. Press <enter> twice to end the command entirely.
