EDITING POLYLINES

The POLYEDIT command allows you to make changes to a polyline's option, such as the width. You can also change a regular line into a polyline and JOIN the segments.

1. Select the POLYEDIT command using one of the following:

   • TYPE = PE

   • PULLDOWN = MODIFY / OBJECT/ POLYLINE

   • TOOLBAR =MODIFY II

   Note	You may modify "Multiple" polylines simultaneously.

2. PEDIT Select polyline or [Multiple]: select the polyline to be edited or "M"

3. Enter an option [Close/Join/Width/Edit vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltypegen/Undo]: select an Option (descriptions of each are listed below.)

OPTIONS: (Step by step instructions in the following exercises)

CLOSE (Refer to Exercise 24A)
CLOSE connects the last segment with the first segment of an Open polyline. AutoCAD considers a polyline open unless you use the "Close" option to connect the segments originally.

OPEN (Refer to Exercise 24A)
OPEN removes the closing segment, but only if the CLOSE option was used to close the polyline originally.

JOIN (Refer to Exercise 24D)
The JOIN option allows you to join individual polyline segments into one polyline. The segments must have matching endpoints.

WIDTH (Refer to Exercise 24B)
The WIDTH option allows you to change the width of the polyline. But the entire polyline will have the same width.

EDIT VERTEX (Refer to Exercise 24C)
This option allows you to change the...
