Problem offsetting closed polylines.
Problem offsetting closed polylines.
(OP)
I've got a wierd one for you.
I'm having problems trying to offset a closed polyline. If I want to offset, say 100mm outside I just specify the distance, pick the object and click outside it. Now, the problem I'm having is when I try to offset inside. I specify my offset distance, pick the object in question and click inside the object. It does offset the rectangle but it the moves the newly created rectangle so that its centroid has and id point of 0.00, 0.00.
Can anyone offer any advice to this problem that is slowly driving me insane?
Cheers
