User Guide
When changing the units of the offset distance, be sure to also type the appropriate offset distance
values, since changing the units does not automatically recalculate the offset values.
The Offset Preferences dialog allows you to control the offset preferences.
Street Offsets In the Street Offsets group, the Offset From Road and Offset From Corner
selections specify the distance that interpolated points are offset from the street corner and from the
street segment, respectively. You can specify the offset in feet, meters, or other common units. The
default is 25 feet.
Center Line Offset The Use Center Line Offset selection specifies the distance that geocoded
points are offset from the associated street segment (rather than being placed exactly at the original
point). Center Line Offset is available if you are geocoding with a point-based Address Dictionary.
Where possible, the coordinates are offset perpendicularly from the segment. Center Line Offset is
disabled by default but you can enable it and specify the offset distance and units. The default is 25
feet.
When changing any of the offset units (for example, from feet to meters), be sure to also enter the
appropriate offset distance values, since changing the units does not automatically recalculate the
offset values.
