How to select chain in offset command?


Hello,

Is it possible to activate the select chain function in a drawing when trying to offset the profile of a part?  See attached.  My company uses these as a poor mans way to check a parts profile.  The select chain command in the offset tool is always grayed out which forces us to select every line individually, tedious and time consuming.


Thanks for looking,

Michael
