Third Example How to purpose EXTEND inwards AutoCAD?

In the instance below honour that the rectangle is drawn alongside the ascendance Rectangle already LINE. Also at that topographic point is a work alongside the alternative lines. If you lot desire example: direct the left side of the polygon as well as to the left to extend the lines of the rectangle hence it mightiness non last able to perform it when selecting the whole polygon volition last selected. So you lot require to pause into pieces alongside a ascendance EXPLODE earlier executing the ascendance extend.

The same is truthful for all polylines as well as the characters that you lot depict alongside a commands CIRCLE, POLYGON, RECTANGLE , because when you lot are selecting multiple lines of selected units hence that AutoCAD does non know to which side should last extended marked lines.
