# Offset Position

The **Offset position** building block offsets (translates) one screen position into another. It is typically used to calculate a new position for mouse actions. See the [Drive mouse actions lesson](/content/services/learning-center/drive-mouse-actions/index.html) for an example of how to use the Offset position block.

The **Offset position** block shows the following properties:

**Note:** The screenshot on this page uses the **Elegance Design**, introduced in **2025.3**. If you are using an earlier version, your layout may look different.

## Quick-start

1. Drag **Offset position** onto the canvas.
2. Connect it by providing **Position to offset** and **Offset value**, and use **Result position** as input in another building block. Optionally, adjust **Offset method** if needed.
3. Run the flow when it's ready.

## Building block parameters

Parameters  
* **Block header**: This block has no green input or output connectors because it is not explicitly executed. It performs a calculation on position values and provides the result to other building blocks. You can rename the block title ("Offset position") by double-clicking it and typing a new title.

* **Position to offset**: The base position to offset, in **X, Y** coordinates (top-left of the screen is **0, 0**). You can expand it to work with X and Y separately.

* **Offset value**: The position offset to apply to the base position, in **X, Y** coordinates (top-left of the screen is **0, 0**). You can expand it to work with X and Y separately.

* **Offset method**: The calculation method used to apply the offset: **Add** or **Multiply**. For example, adding **10, 20** to a position **500, 500** results in **510, 520**.

* **Result position**: The resulting position after the offset operation, in **X, Y** coordinates (top-left of the screen is **0, 0**).
