Line Joining Question

Pete.Koehler — Thu, 28 Apr 2022 15:40:39 GMT

The tower I was using at work recently took a dump. I was using 2020 Mechanical. It had a beautiful function called AMJoin. It would join two lines in the same plane with space between them or join 2 lines into a corner that were overlapping. So easy to use. Corporate put me on another tower temporarily that only has 2021 standard AutoCad. Obviously, AMJoin is a Mechanical command. Is there a command like this in standard AutoCad that performs the same way? I am not looking for the complexity of editing multiple ploylines with fuzz join bs. Way too much clicking and selecting for something that is perfectly simple in Mechanical. TIA---Pete

So your IT/office forgot to install AutoCADMECHANICAL, that's all.

Ask them to install it, it is separate install from plain AutoCAD you don't need plain AutoCAD apparently. MECH is free. Ask for what you need, send them this link https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad/included-toolsets/autocad-mechanical

Fillet them then join.

I have sent IT a message about it already. They have two people working there, Mo and Lasses. I expect to hear from them right about the time I get my tower back.

I was smiling ear to ear at the simplicity of using fillet to achieve what I'm after. Set to 0.00 radius and bam were good to go. I tried it. Works great. Thanks:) ---Pete
