How to extend two lines to their common point of intersection?

[Anonymous]

Just a quick opne. See the attached files: two lines, and i want to extend both to their common point of intersection rather than extend one too far, extend the other one to meet it, then trimming the first line back.

The above workaround is sufficient but I keep finding I have to do this sort of thing so it's worth asking if there's a quicker way. Cheers

Change EDGEMODE = 1   or FILLET with a 0 radius

Ah much better, extend and trim work more intuitively with edgemode set to 1 IMO too, thanks!

Thank you

Fillet with 0 radius... what an amazing trick. Thank you!

fillet or chamfer..

Hold [Shift] while fillet-or-chamfer and it is acting like filletrad-or-chamfer[a/b] set to 0, no matter what value are current.

And yet another way if they're LINE objects specifically [not, for example, Polylines]:

CHANGE

{select them}

APParent-intersection object snap and pick on each again

If they're not orthogonal, it needs ORTHO mode to be off.
