The `Point.shiftOutwards()` method returns a new `Point` that is shifted
`distance` (mm) beyond the `target` in the direction of the target point.
## Signature
```js
Point point.shiftOutwards(Point target, float distance)
```
## Example
<Example caption="An example of the Point.shiftOutwards() method">
```js
({ Point, points, Path, paths, macro, part }) => {
points.A = new Point(90, 70).setText("Point A", "text-sm right")
points.B = new Point(10, 10).setText("Point B", "text-sm")
points.C = points.A.shiftOutwards(points.B, 30)
.setText("Point C is point A shifted 3 cm\nbeyond point B", "text-sm")
.attr("data-text-lineheight", 6)
paths.direction = new Path()
.move(points.A)
.line(points.C)
.addClass("note dashed")
macro("ld", {
from: points.C,
to: points.B,
d: -10,
force: true,
})
return part
}
```
</Example>
