Fusion
I can take the same vector to Lighburn, which is also vector software, I can offset the outline by ANY given number and it ALWAYS creates a plane that is closed and can be set to "fill" by a laser let's say.
I can take that offsetted vector, export it, open it in Fusin and offsetted lines work as they should - they are closed plane and can be extruded.
This is clearly a very annoying bug in Fusion 360 that was implemented with a very recent update.
This really needs to be addressed.
I looked at your issue when you first posted it and could never replicate the issue your speak of. I have posted my process in a Screencast to show what I did. Please take issue with the process and/or create your own to show the issue. I cannot replicate it.

This is a known issue with imported vector graphic files (.svg and .dxf).
The connect the dots plugin might help.
This is not the same SVG in your original post. Please attach this one to another reply.

`Watched it numerous times. Still, you need to post the SVG you used in the Screencast as I could not make the original one fail so I need the one you say gives you an issue.
One more thing, user the Reply icon to the person you are responding to so you do not respond to YOURSELF.

@jhackney1972 I found this easy to reproduce with the attached .svg. The offset works but does not create a closed shape, indicated by the white dot.
This is a persistent issue with imported vector geometry.
Ok, I got it to fail a couple of times. On another post, about an SVG failure, I used a web conversion site to do a double conversion. I first converted the original SVG to a PNG and then converted the PNG to an SVG. This seems to repair "small" problems in the original SVG. In the case of yours, it seems to have found a double exterior boundary during the conversion but other than that, I do not see any failures when I use it in the process you described.
I admit this is a workaround but it may get you over your issue and allow you to move on with your work. The Converted SVG file is attached.

Thanks for reporting this issue. I was out last week on family leave and didn't notice your post.
This is logged as FUS-106662.
At this early stage, there is no way to predict when or if this will be fixed, so please use the workarounds provided by the community until an informed response is possible.

This is not something that is easily done. (tracking every single bug back to the customer forum post) If you had a commercial license and filed a support ticket the support team could be able to track it. I'll add a note to the ticket to update this thread once the fix is in the release pipeline.
As for priority I cannot say. This is up to the individual development team. Importing SVG is not a mainstream manufacturing commercial workflow, but sketch offset is. So I don't know how it will be treated.
In general it takes months to get a fix because we have to log, triage, test, debug, fix, test and release the fix. That takes time.
