Thank you ravas it does work but I see it as a breach in the logic of the use of most tools:
1-when you first select the tool the Command line asks: "Select to create offset"
2-when you use Line Parallel you don't even need to select any entity at all.

I note that in this new version Arc Concentric and Circle Concentric have disappeared which is fine since Line Parallel will do the job but nothing exist to either offset or parallel ellipses (#3 in my original message).

Of course I have no idea whether or not it is possible but would it not be best if only one Parallel or Offset tool was present in the Modify bunch that would work with any possible entity, be it line, circle, arc, ellipse, arc of ellipse, polyline and spline? If it were my preference would be that it works like the Line Parallel tool.
