Two Polyline Power Tips

Polylines are a fantastic object type in AutoCAD; they make for much easier entity selection and have plenty of built-in bits that make them even easier to use.

Here are two polyline power tips to help make polylines even more awesome!

POWER TIP #1 - Polyline grip editing: selecting a polyline, and then moving your cursor to a grip box will cause a mini menu to appear, allowing editing functions: add vertex, remove vertex, or convert to arc!

 

 

POWER TIP #2 - Sub-segment selection: Holding the [Ctrl] key while selecting polyline segments allows sub-segment editing!

Of course, you can also use PEDIT multiple, with JOIN option to make multiple objects into a single polyline.

 

Polylines are versatile objects! I hope you take advantage of these power tips in your drawings!
