Parallel path

[Sorontar]

Does anyone know script that would make parallel path. Like offset path, but without closed loop. ?

[CarlosCanto]

what kind of lines? straight, it might be possible. Curved lines, probably not that easily.

I don't have time to write this, but i'm sure this will work for any a single open path.

• Deselect all
• Duplicate the path.
• Give it a stroke of say 10 points, No end caps
• Set the path as selected
• Menu Command > Outline Stroke
• Get the newly closed path shape from document.selection
• Given the two end points x1,y1 and x2,y2 from the ORIGIONAL path, test all nodes in the outline stroke path, and find 2 consecutive points which both are within 5.1 points of x1,y1 (10/2 + a fudge factor) and remove this line. The only match should be the two straight lines at the end as only their nodes with be within the red circle below.
• Repeat for multiple outlines
•
