17-13. EDIT POLYLINE - convert multiple Lines to one a Polyline

Combining multiple lines, arcs line and polyline into a polyline and merge multiple Lines to Polyline.


Modify II Toolbar - Modify II Menu Polyline and Command PEDIT in AutoCAD

As two or more lines converted into one a Polyline?

How many different lines (Line, Polyline, Arc) to merge into a single polyline.

If you draw two or more forming a polyline drawing it all together and you want to convert into a polyline, you can also use the Polyline command EDIT toolbars MODIFY II.

Suppose you draw a polygon that consists of three Polylines (or multiple lines). Each Polyline (line, arc, polyline) are drawn separately (but connected).

Use the command EDIT Polyline do the following (toolbar MODIFY II):
  1. Click on the button Edit Polyline
  2. Select one of the polyline (lines)
  3. Pay attention to the clause in the Command Line to read (Enter an option [Close/Join/Width/Edit vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Undo]:
  4. Activate the Join clause, by typing the letter J (j) for the JOIN clause, and then press ENTER
  5. The mouse cursor can be transformed into a small box in the Command Line AutoCAD warns you to select the objects. (Select the objects:)
  6. Select each polyline, and then press ENTER (you can also use the frame for selection)
  7. Press ESCAPE (ESC)
  8. Select one of the lines and notice that when selecting select all polylines that you draw and now you have one Polyline in one piece.



If lines are drawn different versions (line, polyline, arc, etc ...) and you are usually selected from a first line drawn with the line or possibly bow drawn with Arc command then the inter-steps 2 and 3, after selecting the first line, you will be question "Do you want to turn it into one? <Y> "What does it mean, you want to convert into one line? AutoCAD offers you the option YES and it is enough to press the Enter key and then proceed with item 3

In the picture below you see that I drew a drawing that consists of 4x Line, 1x Polyline, 1x line-ARC
(Make no mistake in the picture I drew every kind of line in the second layer that is a different color)
Multiple lines in AutoCAD

When selected by each of the lines drawn to look like as shown below. (Notice grips for each line)
Selected multiple lines in AutoCAD


Activate the command EDIT POLYLINE and follow the above steps to merge all the lines (converted) into a one Polyline.
At the end you have a Polyline color as the first line that you selected from (I selected a first ARC red).
Converted multiple lines


If you use the command POLYLINE and command WIDTH after completion of drawing a line is drawn as filled. If you want to fill the command line to remove the FILL (ON/OFF), after which it takes to run a command REGEN.

15-13a. AutoCAD Export Coordinates Points to CSV

Image
How to Export Coordinates of Points Using LISP to AutoCAD Since this web tutorial is intended for beginners, here I will describe how to export Coordinates for specific points in the drawing. Take for example that the drawings have points that are set to specific coordinates (this is quite used in geodesy, but mostly  MAP CAD programs  and some already have built-in  LISP  Export programs). In the picture below, notice that I have created several points on the desktop. Note that with the cursor I have an extra cloud with the coordinate position if I click on the position where the cursor is currently located. (this cloud can be switched on/off at the  DYN  button (dynamic input) How to use LISP? To use this option ( export coordinates to CSV file ), a file that has the extension ' * .lsp ' is used. This so-called scripted code needs to be copied to the "some" folder. Usually this is the  AutoCAD folder  that contains other files with...

24d. Plot in Color Thickness Lines

Image
How to Plot in Color and Thickness of Lines on printed paper in AutoCAD. If you probably have a problem with the  Thickness Line  (not to say the width of the line because some use this expression) on the drawing or the  Color Line  on the drawing. If you are asking any of the following questions: Why are all the lines of the same thickness? How to change the thickness of the line on the drawing we print to the printer (plotting on the plotter)? AutoCAD does not print Color on the drawing? Why these questions? Well there is reason. Print black and white drawings are done over pre-prepared  CTB file  (also in color). To have the lines do not look like a toe, you need to experiment with the thickness of the line. If you want to print a drawing Floor plan of a building and you want to distinguish it from outer walls of interior, portions of drawings that display windows, doors and the like. Then you will set different line thicknesses in the...

24c. Ucsfollow Command Rotate Drawing

Rotating Drawing MODEL in AutoCAD - Ucsfollow Command In the previous tutorial, I showed how to  Rotate the drawing within the Constituent/Component . Here is the possibility of Rotating the other way when Plotting Drawings. This method of Rotating images in Layout Model when plotting is often used in geodesy at plotting KCBR (particles) that copies of the cadastral plan, if the particles are bigger in size than A4 paper and can't fit into the framework of Model Layout. (eg, a plan was drawn at a scale of 1:2000 and we have plot on A4 paper, and " Plot scale " scale 1:1, in fact, we print it on paper dimensions are in scale 1:2000) That they would not plot on tracing paper A3 sometimes it is enough to rotate a drawing that plan and the rotation of the entire plan, a particle can be placed within the model. When rotating the drawing in  Layout Model/Paper  should bear in mind that the drawing in our real model does not rotate, no matter what we rotate conducted within ...
