combine 2 polylines

[SHCanada2]

interesting that a search of those three words doesnt yield any good results.

 

anywhoo, I imported a survey and the property line arc is a different line than the 4 lines around the arc. So when I got to close the polyline I get:

 

it here a way to join the arc to the polyline, so I can get a closed polyline and then get the parcel area?

 

thanks

Why not select the angled property line (the arc chord) and use Change Line/Arc.

Or you could use boolean Union.

There are probably several others but either of the above should get you put of trouble.

but it does not work in my case

that changes it to a straight line:

I dont see that option

[SHCanada2]

looks like it has something to do with it being an arc and not a polyline.

 

I converted it to a polyline and then tried to join, no luck

 

[SHCanada2]

so it looks like if I convert to a polyline (i chose 100 increments), and then close each I get:

 

and then I union those two to get the desired:

 

interestingly when it is just an arc, I cant "close polyline", which one would retort, well its not a polyline, but when selecting the arc, it has the "convert polyline" button available...so must be quasi polyline?

 

any easier way to do this? and is 100 a reasonable number?

Post the plan with a concise explanation of what you want.

I'm sure I don't understand ...

that gives:

 

if i change that to arc befoe snapping I get:

 

if i snap uisnjg the red square and not the red circle I can get it close:

 

it just seems like I am missing something basic here

No need to convert to a polyline.

You are complicating this way beyond what is needed.

be careful not to select the dimension extension on the bottom if trying to select the pline

i figured there muist be a simple way

ok this works as long as I snap using the red triangle

 

Merci

OK

The arc and the poyline have different properties - I think just line weight.

You need to make them have the same properties.

Then select the arc, click on the S - start of line and then click on the plot plan polyline.

They should join together.

doesnt look to unless I am missing something

 

i dont see an "S" on the line...tried clicking the S key

 

[SHCanada2]

@solver, yes that works, alternatively a couple less steps. select the line, and click close polyline. No need to look for the ends. then change that newly closed line edge to arc and use the red triangle to snap as you show.

 

although it would be nice to just combine the arc and the polyline...like Rene's video, or glenn's thoughts

 

thanks

how did you get he S to show?

thanks, a search of the help for "start of line" did not yield any useful results for the first two pages of results

I still must be mising something. attached video is what I am trying . clicking S on arc, clicking on polyline. clikcing start of arc, clicking on polyline. no luck

You are adding unnecessary steps.

Make sure both objects have the same properties - weight, color, linestyle, layer.

Select the arc, click on the E or S of the arc, click on the polyline.

The polyline and the arc should join to form an enclosed polyline.

Done.

Easy!

that is the key, solver's video demostrates it.

 

thank you both
