15-4. Autocad Drawing Polyline Alongside The Mouse
How to Draw Polyline Using a Mouse inward AutoCAD - stride past times step
Drawing Polyline start via a push clit on the toolbar DRAW (Draw carte du jour or text => Polyline). The same tin last activated via ascendance problem prompt (Pline)
After clicking on the push clit it is necessary to depict a problem or laid upwards of lines (as if nosotros depict the problem command). In fact, inward visual terms, this ascendance does non differ from the problem command, but the Selection receive got a visible difference. For details on how to problem a problem or laid upwards of lines, come across link LINE
Line drawn the problem ascendance has i to a greater extent than steal spell Polyline no secondary bridle.
In the pictures below y'all tin come across the difference. Pay attending to clause [Arc/Close/Halfwidth/Length/Undo/Width], which I volition explicate here. This is all the same the spider web for beginners inward AutoCAD.
NOTE: All lines in addition to polylines tin last drawn over i only about other without fearfulness of trouble. Simply depict them inward dissimilar Layer in addition to amongst a dissimilar color (as I did inward the pictures below)
Sketch drawn past times Command Polyline

Sketch drawn past times Command Polyline
Drawing inward AutoCAD drawn amongst the LINE command
In principle, at that topographic point are only about differences, but when selected past times these lines in addition to then nosotros tin come across the divergence in addition to nosotros know that the ascendance was concerned the problem drawn. Notice that I receive got the pictures nether the names layer customized ascendance problem amongst which I drew.
To avoid whatever misunderstanding both of these types of lines receive got OSNAP magnetic betoken when y'all depict (a necktie that mightiness receive got a betoken to include functional push clit OSNAP mode).
Here I desire to emphasize that it is proficient to depict the Polyline ascendance when nosotros desire to depict a sealed drawing of which nosotros volition afterwards exercise REGION (for directly nosotros ask to know) in addition to of course of report i time y'all start drawing the depict ascendance to the destination exercise non destination the (then all inward i teach if possible).
Why? Because when selecting (clicking on Polyline from a stroke) are selected from the entire polyline. And if y'all depict the Polyline from multiple origins, in addition to and then y'all receive got selected to a greater extent than than i time (because y'all receive got to a greater extent than Polyline).
Unless selected past times using the framework for selecting the entire sheet.
In the moving-picture present below y'all come across that I drew a unopen polygon, but amongst 2 polylines that are manifested when I has selected (clicked on the line). So selected problem is drawn amongst Polyline ascendance equally good equally other (not selected)
If I drew a sketch inward i go, in addition to then after selecting (clicking on a problem segment of) the whole drawing was selected. To brand certain that the Polyline to come across that at that topographic point is no secondary grip

Combining multiple lines, arcs in addition to Polyline into a Polyline.
As 2 or to a greater extent than converted into a Polyline? Or how many dissimilar lines (Line, Polyline, Arc) to merge into a unmarried Polyline.
If y'all depict 2 or to a greater extent than forming a Polyline drawing it all together in addition to y'all desire to convert into a Polyline, y'all tin also usage the Polyline ascendance EDIT toolbars MODIFY II.
Suppose y'all depict a polygon that consists of 3 Polylines (or multiple lines). Each Polyline (line, arc, Polyline) are drawn separately (but connected).
Use the Command EDIT Polyline exercise the next (toolbar MODIFY II):
1. Click on the push clit Edit Polyline
2. Select i of the Polyline (lines)
3. Pay attending to the clause inward the Command Line to read
(Enter an choice [Close/Join/Width/Edit vertex/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Undo]:
4. Activate the Join clause, past times typing the alphabetic lineament J (j) for the JOIN clause, in addition to and then press ENTER
5. The mouse cursor tin last transformed into a modest box inward the Command Line AutoCAD warns y'all to select the objects
(Select objects:)
6. Select each polyline, in addition to and then press ENTER (you tin also usage the frame for selection)
7. Press ESCAPE (ESC)
8. Select i of the lines in addition to divulge that when selecting select all Polylines that y'all depict in addition to directly y'all receive got i Polyline inward i piece.
If lines are drawn dissimilar versions (line, polyline, arc, etc ...) in addition to y'all are ordinarily selected from a commencement problem drawn amongst the problem or peradventure bow drawn amongst Arc ascendance in addition to then the inter-steps 2 in addition to 3, after selecting the commencement line, y'all volition last enquiry "Do y'all desire to plough it into one? <Y> "What does it mean, y'all desire to convert into i line? AutoCAD offers y'all the choice YES in addition to it is plenty to press the Enter fundamental in addition to and then decease on amongst item 3

Convert Multipel Lines in addition to Polylines inward to One Line
In the moving-picture present below y'all come across that I drew a drawing that consists of 4x problem LINE, 1x in addition to 1x Line Polyline problem ARC (Make no fault inward the moving-picture present I drew every form of problem inward the instant layer that is a dissimilar color)
When selected past times each of the lines drawn to await similar equally shown below. (Note grips for each line)
Activate the Command EDIT POLYLINE in addition to follow the higher upwards steps to merge all the lines (converted) into a Polyline. At the destination y'all receive got a Polyline color equally the commencement problem that y'all selected from (I selected a commencement ARC red)
If y'all usage the Command POLYLINE in addition to ascendance WIDTH after completion of drawing a problem is drawn equally filled. If y'all desire to fill upwards the ascendance problem to take the FILL (ON/OFF), after which it takes to run a ascendance REGEN inward AutCAD.
