Converting Entities to Polylines and Polygons
Converting a group of entities to a single polyline or polygon is useful when
you need to calculate the length of the group as a whole or when you need
to create a polygon so you can apply pattern fill. The group can contain any
combination of lines, arcs, and polylines, so long as each entity shares an
endpoint with the next. For more information on joining entities, see “Join-
ing Entities” on page 294.
On the Edit menu, click Trim, Join to join lines, arcs, and polylines that have
a common endpoint. Pressing CTRL while using this joins all lines, arcs, and
polylines that are in a series and have common endpoints.
If a series of lines and/or polylines forms a closed shape, with the first and
last entities sharing an endpoint, a polygon is formed. You can convert this
closed polyline to lines and in turn convert the lines to an irregular polygon
to which you can apply pattern fill.
To convert a pair of pre-trimmed entities to a polyline
1 On the Edit menu, click Trim, Join or click the Trim Join button on the
All-In-One toolbar.
2 Click the first line, arc, or polyline.
3 Click the second line, arc, or polyline.
To automatically convert pre-trimmed entities to a polyline or polygon
1 On the Edit menu, click Trim, Join or click the Trim Join button on the
All-In-One toolbar.
2 Press and hold CTRL and click a line, arc, or polyline in the series.
