Modifying entities - Breaking and joining entities
Joining entities
You can join two entities into a single entity. You can join either two lines or two arcs. The two lines must be parallel; the two arcs must share the same center point and radius.
When you join two lines, the farthest endpoints remain at their existing locations; the program draws a new line between these points. Arcs are joined counterclockwise, from the first arc you select to the second.
To join two entities
- Do one of the following:
- Choose Modify > Join.
- Type join and then press Enter.
- Select the first arc or line.
- Select the second arc or line.
| ||
Select the first arc or line ( A ), and then select the second arc or line ( B ). |
| Result. |
