Problem:

When running the command Single Offset Entire Element   on a Complex Alignment, it does not always offset properly.  Some elements are offset to the right while the others are to the left.  See picture below for example.

The green line in this picture is the Offset alignment.

Explanation:

It appears in this situation, the alignment was complexed incorrectly.

Solution:

  1. Run the Remove Rules  command under General Geometry

  2. Recreate the Rule with the Complex By Element  command.

  3. Verify that the arrows are pointing in the correct direction when selecting the elements:  Notice the arrow is pointing in the opposite direction.  In this example, the arrow is pointing in the proper direction.

  4. Rerun the Single Offset Entire Element   command and the results should appear correct.
