Copy Parallel?

[KevinBell]

On the Editor Toolbar's pull down menu there is a command for "Copy Parallel".  Is there any way to use that with python?

I know I could grab the XY's etc, but I'm mainly concerned about curves.  The copy parallel tool offsets the curves like a buffer.  Hey, maybe I could just use the built in buffering and just to a one sided buffer then convert polygons to lines.  ; )

Other suggestions are appreciated!

How about just projecting the feature with an alterd false easting/northing?

That wouldn't handle the curves, but that's a fine idea if there weren't any.

I want to automate street striping from a beginning curb line.  The copy parallel tool deals with the curves like a buffer so that an internal radius is shorter than the external radius.

It looks like this will have to be an ArcObjects thing.

Were you able to find a successful workaround other than using a buffer? I ran into the same issue.
