2D-Enlarging odd shapes by the same amount in every directions

How can I replicate a 2D ovoid kind of curve slightly larger but with a constant distance between the two curves?
Scale does not seem to work for this.
Thanks
Gaston

Hi Gaston - for that use Construct / Offset - that generates shapes at a constant distance from an existing one which as you noticed is a different type of thing than scaling.

So for example if you have this curve:



Construct / Offset will create new curves that are a constant distance away, like this:



Those are offsets calculated at a distance of 1, 2, 3, and then 4 units.
