Topic: Offset Poly line

[vnsharifi]

Hello,
Hope an expert could help . I am trying to start  writing an Offset command for  a polyline.
I realized even in  generic offset command when we do an offset and lines crossing each other it creates funky shape( see image I attached).
Questions:
1- Is there a system variable control  this which I am not aware of ?
2- If the answer is no. Have somebody written something for this to avoid or eliminate it ? If yes, is it possible help me here.
Thanks .
Cheers
David.

Coding is a lot like creating a set of rules. It's possible to create some rules for offsetting closed polys maybe using size as the main determining factor but open polys are a bit troublesome. It can be difficult to tell which side you want to offset them. However if you are doing something specific repeatedly you could write helpful code.
