I mean it is easier to make offset of ready polyline which is editable and I can change it many times then to draw new kilometer of brand new polyline and only then - make new offset

(when offset distance becomes greater then smallest radius of polyline segment - it will graphically just stop process of offsetting, AutoCAD in this case just ignores arc segment and takes it off from the offsetted copy of original polyline)Olga_Berd wrote:I don't understand -- polylines are editable in AC (and one-heck-of-a-lot easier to edit than in ACAD), why would you need to draw a new one?

I really think it's just a matter of practice and becoming familiar with the process (AC vs. ACAD) -- I don't think it's any "easier" with ACAD, just different, and ultimately it's about personal preference. I used ACAD for over 10 years, found that offsetting in AC was a bit quirky in comparison, but quickly adapted once I practiced a bit.
But, the offsetted objects become polylines, so it does not makes identical object, to be completely honest.

You can disable the "apply to all corners" option and set the radius for each junction. The next node you pick will have the fillet option ready to go in the pet palette.
I explode the polyline
