Have a very simple line art file in a dxf format that imports fine but get the dreaded "offset too large" error when trying to create a contour.
Suggestions?
sounds to me like you have an open shape. make sure all nodes are not disconnected. provide a sample file so we can take a closer look.
You may be able to use the smart fill tool to create a filled shape that you can use to apply a contour.
Oh! I need to check. I surely remember contour worked with open shapes too.
Out to check in X7.... It works well. So the issue could be different.

The smart fill suggestion worked like a charm - many thanks!
