    when trying to select one line to move it moves any line touching the selected line even when they aren't selected.

    This is driving me insane! Could you help me please?

    Hi,

     

    does this line belong to a group? Or is this line just a segment of the polyline or part of a block?

    To verify if it's a line or not start command _LIST, then select the object and let us know what is reported in the command area, especially the object-type

     

    If it's reported to be a line then it may be grouped with other objects. You can then try to change the sysvar PICKSTYLE to 0 (>>>details<<<) and look what happens now when you try to move the line.

    They are constrained to one another, delete the constrained.

    Polyline, you use command EXPLODE

    In this case it's not constrained.

    Hi,

     

    >> It reports that it is LWPOLYLINE

    OK, a polyline (what type if polyline ever) is one object containing segments and these segments are connected together.

     

    If you don't want to lose this connections you can either use the grips or command _STRETCH (>>>details<<<) to move a segment and hold the connections.

    If you don't need this connections you can use thte command _EXPLODE (>>>details<<<), this converts the segments of the polyline to single objects, straight segments are converted to lines, others to arcs.
