Offset command - Problems?

[Michael Waugh]

I have a question regarding the Offset command. I recently took an
interview test for a job, and during that test I discovered to my horror
that lines I had offset using the OFFSET command were incorrect, ie not the
intended distances that I had in fact, input. As a result the drawing was
wrong and I effectively bombed the test (and maybe the job) despite my best
intentions.

Now, this is something I have encountered elsewhere on earlier versions of
AutoCad., the program in this case happened to be Land Desktop. It seems to
be hard to repeat the error and I told my interviewer that something was
wrong.

Has anyone encountered this type problem? I need some support.
