joining path arrays and individual lines

[Anonymous]

I have created a path array and drawn a line connected to the end point of the said path array.

If I drew a contour consisting of individual lines, I can join the individual lines together via command 'join.'

I haven't been able to do the same with lines and path arrays.

I had to 'break(explode)' path arrays and had to join individual lines together.

Is there a convenient way to join path arrays and lines ?

I expect your only options are to put them together into either a BLOCK or a GROUP.

We are using AutoCAD for photolithography and apparently GROUPing lines together is different from 'JOIN' in that Klayout won't read grouping the same way as features that are joined....

Hi,

>> GROUPing lines together is different from 'JOIN'

Then the answer is: you can't JOIN entities of type ARRAY with entities of type LINE or POLYLINE.

The only option is to explode the ARRAY-object.
