I'm having trouble offsetting some objects -- one minute the object will allow offsets, the next minute I get the message "can't offset that object." I then have to redraw (and redraw...) the object until it eventually works (or not).
If you (sorry, AutoCAD) can not offset polyline - please check at first that this polyline doesn't have zero-length segments, i.e. each vertex pair connected with non-zero length segment.

I've had this same problem with offsetting polylines. AutoCAD will not allow me to offset certain polylines. When I try, it gives me the circle-slash symbol. Have you had any luck finding a solution?
I just found a solution to your problem... first explode the polyline, then offset them one by one, then use the BO (Boundry Creation) command to convert them back to polylines... worked like a charm for me, I'm sure it'll work for you too!
Did anyone ever figure out a way to sort this? Not sure what to do with the overkill command, Autodesk's knowledge centre recommends flattening the polyline (which doesn't work for me), so I'm still unable to even do this basic command.
Forgive me for resurrecting the dead but I found another solution.
In my case there wasn't anything wrong with the polyline; it just had too much concavity for the offset distance I wanted. The solution that worked for me was first offset it by the largest value I could get that wouldn't kick back an error. Then offset the offset by the remainder to get it the total offset distance. Testing this with different sets of offset distances gave the the same result.
I had the same problem and i solved it this way; highlight the line/ open properties/ change vertex 'X' and 'Y' to '0'. then offset. (It worked for me).

Thank you. This worked 100%, I was trying to offset a line 1000m, no go. So like you suggested I tried a shorter distance, 100m. It worked!! So I just offset the line 10 times. 🙂 DONE!
