How to create a boundary Polyline in AutoCAD?
Click Pick Points. Specify points within each area to form a boundary polyline. Note: This area must be totally enclosed: there can be no gaps between enclosing objects. Press Enter to create the boundary polyline and end the command. Note: The polyline may not be visible as it overlaps the objects used to create it.

Which is the correct way to offset a polygon?
Polygon offsetting can be performed using one of three offset styles – squared, round and mitered. The polygon you are looking for is called inward/outward offset polygon in computational geometry and it is closely related to the straight skeleton.
What’s the best way to inflate a polygon?
Starting at a vertex, face anti-clockwise along an adjacent edge. Replace the edge with a new, parallel edge placed at distance d to the “left” of the old one. Repeat for all edges. Find the intersections of the new edges to get the new vertices. Detect if you’ve become a crossed polygon and decide what to do about it.
What kind of license do I need for polygon offset?
