Method to Offset/Parallel a Line/Curve

[Anonymous]

Hello

Is there a function/method that will offset a line for me?

For example; if I have the following model line, I want to create another model line exactly the same as this one just with an offset distance of 500mm away:

  

I've looked through the api but theres no function 'Parallel();' or 'Offset();'.

Line line = doc.Application.Create.NewLineBound(segStrt, segEnd);
Line parallelLine = line.Offset(line, 500); // not method like this

Correct me if i'm wrong, but offset and parallel are nothing more then a copy in a certain direction. So if you want to offset your line you can copy it 500mm in the Y direction.
