espie Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Please help: I cannot offset a polyline! I select a polyline, click 'offset' (by distance mode), and click to either side of the polyline. I always get the message "cannot offset. choose another offset value." Offset by distance does work for lines, circles, etc., but not polylines. Many thanks to whomever can help. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted November 16, 2011 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted November 16, 2011 How big is your polyline? What distance do you have set in the Preferences? Quote Link to comment
Ozzie Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 What version of VW are you using and what OS? Is it a large complex drawing? Copy the polyline and Edit/Paste in Place into a new file ? does it offset there? Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Try turning off your snaps. Quote Link to comment
espie Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks, All. My polyline is 40' long. Offset distance is 15'. The drawing has a few references (survey, arch plans). I tried copy/paste into new file and it offsets there (good suggestion!). Turning off snaps didn't seem to help, but thanks anyway. Quote Link to comment
