Wide line

[ylind]

some time ago I had a Toolbar button that would allow me to pick a LINE, Change it to a polyline and change it to a set width.

Something like this; (Command: pedit "y" "w" "0.5")

but this don't work. Can anyone help? A lisp routine might also work.

T.I.A.
y.L

here, this is a real simple routine i use to quickly join plines, lines, arcs.
i modified it to set the width instead of joining. you can change the title, and whatever else you don't like.

;join multiple lines/arcs

(equal (getvar 'peditaccept) 1) 
(command "pedit" "m" lines "" "w" "0.5" "") 
(command "pedit" "m" lines "" "y" "w" "0.5" "") 
);if 
);progn 
(alert (strcat "\nHey " (getvar "loginname") " it helps if you actually select something to work with!")) 
);if 
(princ)
