Just 2 Lines won't join
I tryed to join 2 lines but BCAD says either the objects are not parallel (??? if they would be parallel they would never met, I'm wrong?) or it says object are no lines? I don't get this.Has anyone have a clou what's going on here?greezTobias

You should use the CHAMFER command and set both distances to 0. I believe this will perform what you expect the join command to do.:_CHAMFERChamfer (dist1=0.0000, dist2=0.0000): Settings/Polyline/: Select second entity: The folllowing comes from the help concerning the JOIN command:JOINToolbar: Modify > Join ()Menu: Modify > JoinKeyboard: JOINJoins two entities (two or more lines or two or more arcs) into one entity. You cannot join lines with arcs and vice versa. Also, you can only join parallel lines.Select arc or line for joining: Select the line or arc that you want to join with another.

Join used to be a bit touchy in some previous versions as you describe, but mine works OK now. I think by not parallel it really means not quite in line. If it says they are not lines, could they be polylines?

First of all: Both lines are real lines!Here the output when I run the list command on both lines one after another:---------- Line --------------------------------------------------- Handle: 143 Current space: Model Layer: 0 Color: 256 (BYLAYER) Linetype: ByLayer From point: X= 236.479 Y= 3645.424 Z= 0.000 To point: X= 0.000 Y= 3615.073 Z= 0.000 Length: 238.419 Angle in UCS XY plane: 187 Delta values: X= -236.479 Y= -30.351 Z= 0.000---------- Line --------------------------------------------------- Handle: EF Current space: Model Layer: 0 Color: 256 (BYLAYER) Linetype: ByLayer From point: X= 0.000 Y= 3615.073 Z= 0.000 To point: X= 21.034 Y= 3527.995 Z= 0.000 Length: 89.583 Angle in UCS XY plane: 284 Delta values: X= 21.034 Y= -87.078 Z= 0.000Second: I tryed Fillet and Chamfer with radius 0 with no succes.Don't know what to try else.Tobias

Join is for making a complete line of 2 "in-line" lines, or to describe another way, filling a gap in what would be a continuous straight line.Your lines are roughly at right angles and as FJ says, you would "join" them by chamfering or fileting - the reason for the message is that they are already "joined" (at 0,3615.073) as in touching at one end.If you want them to beome a single entity, convert one to a polyline with the "Pedit" command, then use its Join option.

Ohh yes... of course. I have to convert it to a polyline first.Jee... I just simply forgot the polyline step. Too bad.Ok. After making one line a polyline it joined perfectly with the other one.So thanks for all the patient answers to a kind of BCAD-lesson 1 question.greezTobias
