resize polyline

[geobram674154]

Hello everyone :)

I have a simple question with (hopefully) a simple answer.
I have an irregular polyline which I want to resize. The problem is that I can not just use SCALE. I want the object to get larger with the same distance (for example 5 meter).
I have a footpath and I need a contour that is 5 meters out on all sides.
Is this possible or do I need to draw a new polyline from scratch?

Small complication, although I make the drawing in 2014, I have to be able to use it in 2012 LT, so I will save it in 2010 format.

Thanks for the time :)

Use the offset command and a distance of 5.

That worked only partially. Some approx. circular polylines I could only offset in one direction, namely to the inside and not the outside. Others could go both ways.

If it doesn't offset completely, it isn't possible to offset that shape by that distance (or you might need to zoom in and pick carefully).

You'll need to mix'n'match offset portions with new construction.

Thanks for the help. I ended up using some offsetting together with new construction indeed.
