Join spline and polyline

 

Hi!

I get strange results.

 

When I use join function I get spline instead of polyline,

What setting should I change in order to get polylines out of join function and not splines.

Thank you in advance

If  you are trying to join a spline to anything the resulting object will become a spline

 

to get around that make the spline a polyline using PEDIT

 

Select the Spline and it will ask if you want to turn it into one say yes.

 

Leave the precision at 10.

thank you for reply

 

Yes, I know that.

 

But my question is:

 

when I join line and arc I want to get polyline, but instead I get spline.

Before the resulting figure was polyline and now it is spline,

I think that I changed some settings, but I don't what are the seetings.

Joins multiple objects without specifying a source object. The rules and resulting object types are as follows:

A line object results from joining collinear lines. The lines can have gaps between their endpoints.

An arc or circle object results from joining coplanar arcs with the same center point and radius. The arcs can have gaps between their endpoints.

Lengthening occurs in a counterclockwise direction. A circle object results if the joined arcs form a complete circle.

A spline object results from joining splines or elliptical arcs together, or to other objects. The objects can be noncoplanar.

A polyline object results from joining coplanar lines, arcs, polylines, or 3D polylines.

A 3D polyline results from joining noncoplanar objects other than curved objects.

 

 


I've just copied this from the standard help. I would suggest you check your arcs and see what they are.

You're not looking for a setting, you need a conversion. Or do it backwards, use the POLYLINE command and select 'Arc'.

PE Enter

M Enter(for multiple)

select all your lines you want to join Enter

convert to polylines Enter (defaults to yes)

J Enter (for join)

fuzz distance? Enter (defaults to zero)

Enter (closes command)

all lines are now joined. Provided the lines had touching ends that is.
