    Thanks in advance
    Could any one tell me how to find the bunch of polylines are parallel or not with the specified uniform distance. all the polylines have different lengths.

    This could be very difficult if the plines are not all straight segments. If they have curves, it would be even worse.
    If they are all straight segments, then you could treat them like lines and check the endpoints to see whether they intersect or not. If they do not intersect, they are at least parallel.
    Then a check at a perpendicular point would reveal the distance.
