Tell me more ×  I have a polyline that represents a cyclone
track and I want to create equidistant polyline that are
perpendicular to the cyclone track. Many thanks for your help.
share|improve this question Don't you want the "equidistant
polyline" to be parallel? Anything "perpendicular" to the track
surely won't be equidistant from the track! –  whuber Mar 6 '12
at 4:27 Yea, as whuber said, you can draw equidistant polylines
paralel to the track/stream/line. You can try and implement HEC-
RAS's "Construct XS Cut Lines Tool" for your
application/problem/track. –  A.D.Prasad Mar 6 '12 at 8:28 add
comment  1 Answer  If you have an ArcInfo license, you can use
the line_side parameter of the Buffer (Analysis) tool. This will
give you a parallel curve on the LEFT, or RIGHT side of your
cyclone track that is offset by your buffer distance.  If you
don't have ArcInfo, there are plenty of open source options to
choose from that also do this:  share|improve this answer add
