ScottElsley Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Good afternoon everyone. Firstly I am still using Chief X2, and for the last 3 days rectangular polylines that were drawn automatically snapped closed are now just for lines, and I can't close it off and create blocks. Can anyone help? I appreciate your time. Many thanks Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I am not sure about X2, but in X14 it is Preferences>Cad>Options>Connect CAD Segments Probably still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottElsley Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Thanks Glenn, Unfortunately it doesn't give me the same selection. So odd as it's been working for ever and now just stopped. Appreciate the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Sorry, I misread and thought you were talking about plain polylines - I missed the rectangular bit. Are you using the rectangular polyline tool or are you using Continuous Drawing Behaviour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottElsley Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 I am using the rectangular polyline tool Glenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottElsley Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 Hi Solver, I am finding previously drawn rectangular or square (or any other shape for that matter) that were connected polylines , ie using the Rectangular Polyline Tool, or new ones using the same tool are now separate lines. The will not snap at the corners and the only way to close them is to make then into a CAD block which means I cannot add textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 "Connect Cad Segments" was new in X8. I think you are probably looking for a tool called "Edit Object Parts" that you likely turned on accidentally so it would look something like this or at least it did in X6 and it was also a setting in Preferences>Cad>Options>Edit Object Parts and that is linked to the same option if it is on your tool bar. Potentially the same in X2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
