Hi All,

Anyone got any idea's as to why this is happening? 

It often feels like a new day a new problem with Inventor.

Can you Attach a *.ipt file here that exhibits this behavior.

Someone else reported this a couple of years ago and the cause and solution was found, but I forget what it was.

Hi JD,

Well turns out it was a pebkac error. The issue is to do with that radius at the top of the profile. It has a perpendicular constraint to the mating line, so any attempt at offset will return zero. Expected behaviour. Apologies for the false alarm.
