parallels

Hi Eric
I hope you had a good walking holiday in Ireland!
One thing I have been meaning to ask for a long time.
When I draw a parallel to a polyline sometimes bits of the parallel line stay "stuck" to the original line. See attached jpg example. That is a 20mm parallel polyline.
If I do it in 1mm increments, 20 times, that doesn't happen, and the resulting final line is just as accurate, so it's not a big problem. Sometimes it is OK in 2mm increments.
I think this only happens when the polyline is made from rather small pieces, say 10-15mm or so long. At other times with a different polyline, the problem does not occur at all – in fact most of the time it doesn't happen.
Best - George
