Joining Lines to Make Polylines

Joining Contiguous Lines and Arcs

This tool is used when separate lines are inserted into a drawing as individual segments and you wish to connect them together as a polyline. An example of when this tool can be used is when creating the building lines using the line tool—see the tutorial chapter in this guide for drawing the building outline.

Lines that are to be joined must be contiguous (meeting end-to-end).

To use this tool:

1.   Select the tool (shown above).

2.   Click on the lines to be joined—if there is more than two lines to be joined, they must be selected in succession, starting at one end. As the lines are selected, they will highlight blue.

3.   When all lines are selected, right-click to complete the procedure.

If the lines do not join it will be because they either do not meet end-to-end or they were not selected in the correct order.
