Connects intersecting objects or portions of objects into a single polyline. A chain of connected objects is created, starting from a selected object and proceeding in a specified direction.
Note: The difference between this tool and the Auto Joining option of Join Polyline (see Join Polyline) is that Chain Polyline enables you to create a partial chain, and to work with overlapping objects.
- Select the object from which the chain will start.
- Set the direction in which the chain will proceed.
- If overlaps are encountered, you must specify the path to continue the chain.
- The chain proceeds until it reaches the last object, and the polyline is created. !worddav6614520d55cc54d1ead85d9729fe9c05.png|height=79,width=206!If you do not want the chain to proceed all the way to the last object, you can select Finish from the local menu or Inspector Bar at any time.Note: The original objects remain in the drawing.
