I created many lines, and joined them together nicely..Now I have a closed complete 2D shape...I want to extrude the shape, but...
I think I need to join all the lines to become a single line first...I can't find this command... How can I unite all the lines together
3 lines. 2 arcs. All coplanar, all meet end-to-end.
I set "Units/precision" to 0.00000000 and inspected them. They are all x=0 for each endpoint, therefore coplanar. I also did a point "ID" command and checked each endpoint approaching from both sides and confirmed that each pair of results was identical, so all the ends meet exactly.
I was under the impression that Join or at least PEDIT should be able to combine coplanar lines/arcs that all meet end to end into a polyline. Also, using the Express Tool's "FLATTEN" command doesn't work.
The reason I'm doing this is because I've drawn lines/arcs that trace along the midpoint of a sheet metal's material thickness, and this sheet metal has two bends in it and isn't flat anymore, so converting the lines/arcs to a single polyline will tell me how long the flat plate needs to be that will be ordered to create it.
I need to join multiple lines to a new polyline..The lines are filtered by a selectionset
Dim oPline as new Polyline()
For Each oSel As SelectedObject In acSSet
Dim oEnt As Entity = TryCast(acTrans.GetObject(oSel.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForRead, True), Entity)
oPline.JoinEntity(oEnt)
End If
Next
The error occurs on the oPline.JoinEntity(oEnt)
In sketch mode, there is a function to split lines, but I don't see one to join lines.
(I'm talking about colinear lines with the ends touching - I want to convert two lines into one).
It may seem trivial, but I'd like to use these lines in frame generator to select by a single line and not by endpoints of two different lines. Less clicks and more consistency in my model.
Need macro to merge and join all overlapped lines after flattening so I end up with a basic flat 2D outline.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo the problem I am having is when I try join lines and/or make a polyline. I am trying to model an electron lens and have all the measurement and angles correct but Autocad does not want to allow me to join the lines so that I can make a 3D model for export. When it does allow me to join all the line or make a polyline, the lines are not straight. Granted I have to zoom in to see the deviation in the line but my connecting lines are not orthogonal like they should be. Here is a picture of what I am trying to make.

I want to join multiple lines together like join command but with multi selection.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI Wonder if it's possible, with a setting or something like this, to make the join command work only on lines or polylines that had the same linetype?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am a bit of a newbie to illustrator cs6. I have been using the image trace function so that I can edit my hand drawn pictures. I 'Place' the scan of my drawing and then go to Object>Image Trace>Make and Expand. The problem I have is when I want to join two lines together to close the shape (as below).
I have tried simply dragging the anchor points and reshaping the line so it appeared to be closed, I have tried closing it with the pen tool and I have tried to 'path>join' them but this box comes up.
I want to be able to fill my image traces with colour easily, can this be done?
Drawing: line, arc, line.
arc was defined with line's end points and radius, so I'm positive that this drawing is continuous.
Steps I take:
pedit
click
do you wish to turn into polyline
y
j
Select objects: 1 found
Select objects: 1 found, 2 total [enter]
Select objects:
0 segments added to polyline
[enter]
I had no problem turning other arcs into polyline...
The command to JOIN two overlapping anchor points as a SMOOTH join is not working (at least, on Mac).
"The join option only results in a corner join regardless of whether you select anchor points to join or the entire path. However, for overlapping anchor points, if you want the option to select a smooth or corner join, then use Ctrl+Shift+Alt+J (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+Option+J (Mac OS)."
I made this technical detail. To make an arc I use ''tan, tan, radius'' command. It looks like arc and circle is joined together, but if I move closer as you can see they aren't joined together. So how can I join them? I tried 'join' command but it won't work for me or maybe I don't know how correctly use this commad.

I'm using AutoCAD 2011. Lately I'm having lots of trouble getting LWPOLYLINES to join, end-to-end. They were all created with the same UCS on elevation zero. Some are arcs, and some are straight segments. I've used PEDIT, MPEDIT, JOIN. Nothing works. They are definitely end-to-end.

I know i can create "object data records" links between enclosed text and polyline but i want to do same thing using SDF format points and polygons. Can it be done without converting point feature label to text and polygon to polyline and then creating automatic links and then again converting polylines with object data to SDF format.
