Polyline Edit

Edit Polyline is a Modify command you use to edit polylines or to change lines into polylines. It can join lines or arcs together and make them a single polyline. You can also use it to change the width of a polyline.

• Step 10. Use Polyline Edit to change the lines into a polyline, as described next:

  Prompt	Response

  Enter an option [Close Join Width Edit vertex Fit Spline Decurve Ltype gen Reverse Undo]:	Type J <Enter> (for Join)

• Step 11. Use the OFFSET command to offset the polyline 5″ to the outside of the current polyline.

• Step 12. Use the LINE command with a running Osnap Endpoint to close the polyline. Type L <Enter>. Click P1→, P2→ <Enter><Enter>. Click P3→, P4→ <Enter> as shown in Figure 3-27.
