Joins similar objects
to form a single, unbroken object.
Most objects to be joined
must be located in the same plane. You can join objects in different
planes if the source object is a spline or a 3D polyline. Each type
of object has additional restrictions.
List of Prompts
The following prompts
are displayed.
Select
source object: Select a line, polyline, arc, elliptical
arc, or spline
Depending on the source object selected, one of
the following prompts is displayed:
- Line
-
The line objects must be collinear (lying on
the same infinite line), but can have gaps between them.
- Polyline
-
The objects can be lines, polylines, or arcs.
The objects cannot have gaps between them, and must lie on the same
plane parallel to the UCS XY plane.
- Arc
-
The arc objects must lie on the same imaginary circle,
but can have gaps between them. The Close option converts the source
arc into a circle.
NoteWhen joining two
or more arcs, the arcs are joined counterclockwise beginning from
the source object.
- Elliptical Arc
-
The elliptical arcs must lie on the same ellipse, but
can have gaps between them. The Close option closes the source elliptical
arc into a complete ellipse.
NoteWhen joining two
or more elliptical arcs, the elliptical arcs are joined counterclockwise beginning
from the source object.
- Spline
-
The spline and other
objects must be contiguous (lying end-to-end). The resulting object
is a single spline.
- Helix
-
