joining and extending line

joining and extending line

joining and extending line

(OP)
How do you join a bunch of line segments into 1 line, and can you also extend line in sketch?

thank you

RE: joining and extending line

question 1) Join command
question 2) Trim command (if it's really a line, and not a spline)

I tried the trim command and i didn't know it did  that..:)

but where is the join command?  could you be more specific?

thank you.

RE: joining and extending line

I assume that you are creating 2 different sketches which are containing lines

lets say , there are 2 sketches , and  you want to join them , go to the generative shape design workbench and then choose insert + operations+ join choose the sketches from the tree ...then press ok.

and then if you make any changes just go to your sketch. apply the changes. it will update automatically .

RE: joining and extending line

(OP)
That's a great tip..thank  you.

But I was just asking for simple operation to connect broken line, so the opposite function of break line.

thank you

RE: joining and extending line



Type "C:join" in the white box in the lower right hand corner of your screen.  Once the function is activated, look to see which icon lights up - or look for "join" in your help documents.

Trim is used to extend a line, which is preferable to joining, assuming that you're not joining into a polyline. (for clarification of what I meant earlier)
