Inflating polylines?

[Bazzatron]

Hi there all,

First post so if I'm missing protocol or this is the wrong section, feel free to move this and berate me! 

I'm trying to outline a shape, the outer edges for which are on two or more layers, I've been met with some success using the bpoly command, but ideally I'd like to put in some space between the edge and the outlining polyline; I've tried scaling the image up by a factor of 1.02, but that didn't work as the edge is irregular.

Any of you know a way I could achieve this?

Thanks for your time.

Welcome to the forums.

Try using the OFFSET command on the resulting polyline created when using BPOLY.
