046] How to Create Parallel Offset Lines in Global Mapper
Learn how to generate multiple parallel offset lines from selected vector features at precise intervals. This tutorial demonstrates the dedicated parallel line creation tool in Global Mapper. We move beyond the old workaround of converting buffers to lines and explore the settings for spacing, directional orientation, and non-overlapping geometry to streamline your GIS drafting workflow. In this tutorial, we will learn how to create precise parallel offset lines in Global Mapper using the built-in Advanced Feature Creation tool. Previously, this specific feature was not available in Global Mapper. In the past, we had to draw buffer lines and then convert those buffers back into line features to achieve a similar result. Let’s get started. Creating Parallel Offset Lines in Global Mapper First, draw a line on the screen and select it. img 2 : Right-click menu showing Advanced Feature Creation Options R...
