Extend lines
Hi all.
Can I use the EXTEND command to extend the lines A and B of a figure like the attached figure to the virtual intersection?
Thank you.

FILLET; set radius to 0

With FILLET (and CHAMFER), if you hold the Shift key down when selecting the second line, it will automatically perform a zero radius fillet.

After all these years, I didn't know that.

If you ever want to extend just one of the lines (to the extension of the other line, but without extending the other line as well), you can do that with the Extend command:
- Select the boundary object, then Enter or Space.
- Choose the Edge mode option, and then the Extend option.
Any objects picked will be extended to the invisible extension of the boundary object.
If you do that a lot, you could make a custom version of the Extend command that always extends to the invisible extension of the boundary object:
(defun c:EEE () (setq ss1 (ssget)) (command "Extend" ss1 "" "EE"))0 -
I wanted to use the EXTEND command because it is intuitive.
However, I had no idea what I was getting when I read the help for the EXTEND command.So I asked on the Forum.
The Lisp you provided does not work in my environment.(The following is a translation from Japanese)Select Boundary Shapes for Extension
Select figure to extend or Shift-select to trim or :ＥＥ
Input not recognized. Please try again.
Please show me the command line history of the manual operating procedure for the Exted command.0 -
Hi @Saitoib , you can extend these lines in one simple EXTEND command run, if EDGEMODE variable is set to 1 - in this case command uses imaginary extension of the boundary edge. When EDGEMODE=1, you just select both lines as boundary and as entities to extend, and they are extended to intersection point.
