Sorry Bob, a bit of a small rant there. And not really at this group in particular.
I will say that I have had some answers here, and I do know that this is a free medium and no one has to answer. And I do appreciate any replies that I have had.
In particular there is only one post that I really wanted an answer to, as neither me nor any of my colleagues or friends can get this.
It is about elevations of offset closed polylines.
Whenever I offset a closed polyline, it appears with an elevation of 0. And I have to do this all the time. It is really annoying, and here is the kicker, it only happens in certain drawings. And I know of no variable that controls this.
Once again. Sorry if I sounded a bit short, it is not only here that I post, there are several other groups I participate in, it is just that here, not many people seem to reply to me, maybe it is that they don't know of an answer, I dunno.
I wasn't really having a go, just voicing my impression really.
Sorry if any offence given.

PS, if you are wondering why I post from two accounts, work & home. I once got a very uppity email asking why. Weird really.
And it turned out it is probably the system, not acad that corrupted the file, and I managed to partialopen and partiaload the file so I only lost a very small fragment of it, 30 mins later, drawing went out of the door.
I cant follow you. At my computer (ACAD 2004) the result has always the same elevation as the original polyline and i cant find any setting. How to you define the offset: with distance our with "through point"?. If you want you can send me one of your drawings and i will take a look on it
I only ever really use distance, with my 0 button set as an alias for offset, it makes it easier for the input.
When I get into work in the morning I shall get one and send it over to you if that is ok, like I said, it only does it sometimes. It is just more often than not and not being able to figure it out is really bugging me.
