I have some Problems in offset this type of Line

Hi there!!

How are u???

So, i´m a sugar cane grower, I am planting with John deere Gps - AMS, export the rows that are in shape for 3d Cad Map, when I attempt to offset these lines, the following error appears: Can not offset line. I tried to "explode" and then join the lines, it did not work. I tried to simplify the design and still did not work. Do you have another solution?

I am attaching an example of lines in DWG.

Thanks in Advance.

Best Regards!

Those aren't lines, they're MPolygons. One solution, if you don't need too much precision, is to trace along those curves with a polyline. You can then offset the polyline.

Thanks for the real fast reply Cyber! I forgot to mention that they were Mpolygons... And i need precision.. lol, i tryed that too, the thing is, each line is the path of the tractor traveled, and a line is not exactly equal to another line. I need that to harvester the next year. Thanks again Cyber!

I believe you should of had the option when importing for "Import Polygons as Closed Polylines" at some point.

You might try array or copy.

Tks again for real fast Reply. I will atach the file with "Import Polygons as Closed Polylines", I thought it would work, but also did not work.

I dont know Array command.... how it works? TKS!

Array - it can be either rectangular or polar. You'd want rectangular. The user specifies the number of columns and rows and what any offset distance between objects would be.

I´m trying the array command, but its very confusing... what i need is to enable the line / polyline to be done offset.

Thanks !!

So you used the offset command and your problem was solved or not solved?

Not Yet ReMark... I'm trying everything and so far without success...

These lines created by the GPS are not working to apply the offset, I've done almost everything, I do not know what is happening with these lines!

So, Thanks you for your time....

If you zoom in, some of your lines are not simple. There is a lot of editing to do to get to a single open polyline which will offset!

Possibly start with explode, then Overkill before joining polylines.

You can use Flatten command and then offset. But, at least in my testing, flatten seems to work with the screen resolution somehow... so zoomed in it gives smoother lines than it does zoomed out. I don't know if this is good enough, but it's something to try...

Hi There.. i will make it more simple... I need offset this line, do you guys have any suggestion??

Thanks again!

Obrigado!!

Sorry.. I forgot to add the line..

See ya!

Hi There.. i will make it more simple... I need offset this line, do you guys have any suggestion??

Yes. Explode it. Then delete duplicate objects. Then Pedit to join all remaining lines into a single open polyline. Then you can offset it

Thanks Eldon... i will try here..

See ya

Worked... thanks a lot guys.... problem solved.
