Hi Gunter - yeah a scaling operation won't produce that kind of constant thickness result you're looking for, except in special cases like with a circle.

Like Finema writes above use Construct > Offset for that kind of thing rather than scaling.

Hi Gunter,

As noted by Finema & Michael, use the Offset...
...but note that curves created by Offset will be Points heavy...
...so select your offset curve & use Rebuild to reduce the Points.

Hi All,

great, thanks for the solution. Offset is the obvious choice... duh!

It's weird I've used offset so many times for similar work but it just never popped into that hold head of mine. Go figure :)

Many thanks
Gunter
