If you mean L-connection or miter-joint, then other dwg-programs have the LConnect command. And in AutoCAD, you need to work a little with your hands. Move the end planes so that the parts intersect in space. Then cut off the excess with the _slice command. You may need to make additional constructions to define the three points of the cutting plane.

Post your dwg file please.

And what do you mean with "elbow joint"? An moveable joint or ...?

Trim back the two extrusions so that they do not touch. Revolve a cross section by 90 degrees about an axis in defined by the intersection of the two end planes. Let me know if you need a picture but it would help if you posted a CAD file.

Here's how revolve can be used to create the "elbow". The red line is the axis of revolution.
