frontière naturelle montrée en offset; frontière en offset : d’après M. Gilles Legault, de l'Ordre des arpenteurs-géomètres du Québec, tous les arpenteurs géomètres utilisent l'expression "en offset". Une ligne montrée en offset sert à matérialiser en un autre endroit la véritable limite; elle est en général parallèle à cette dernière. Par exemple, dans le cas d’un obstacle à préserver(arbre centenaire, édifice, etc.), la véritable limite est montrée en offset à une distance x. Elle n’ est ni "décalée", ni "déplacée". 2, record 1, French, - limite%20en%20retrait%20d%26rsquo%3Bune%20limite%20naturelle
