There is a post very similar to this, though it has something to do with how a drawing was exported from another program. My problem is: the PEDIT command won't give me the option to convert a line "I" add to a pline.
PEDITACCEPT: 0 or 1, problem remains
It is a drawing from an house designer, I am adding structural members and notes over the drawing. I could xref, but I need to move/erase some of their notes as well. It becomes cumbersome to switch to the source dwg, edit & save, move to current dwg and refresh, to have the note where needed.
This is a pretty strange to me drawing file. It seems that a bunch of system variables are altered and hopefully it doesn't migrate over to files originating from my machine.
Thanks for any ideas in advance.

Does PEDIT give you an error message?
You also want to add the "line" to an existing PLINE? Is there a gap (the ends of the two objects don't meet)?
LIST command and select one of these "lines", see if you can confirm the object is a LINE entity and not something else.
Apparently this is something I've just never tried to do before. Assign a pline->width to a circle. It was my assumption that as it worked on all other shapes, it would work on a circle, it doesn't. I guess a closed arc will suffice.
Is this the case? It just won't convert the circle into a pline.
Correct, does not work on Circles: try a DONUT instead (yep, it's a command not a smartass reply LOL).
You can create a polyline circle yourself, but it can be temperamental at times
Choose you start point. Press A for ARC, choose the direction at type the diameter of the circle, and then close.
