ggodwin Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I am wondering if there is a function that takes two lines that are not parrallel and will extend them until they intersect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f700es Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 type "F" right-click (or enter) then type "R" and right-click (or enter) type "0" and right-click (or enter) then select (single left-click) both lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Beat me to it JD, but it is the best solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen1980 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 To save time redoing the readius each time I have set up a button on my menu with a macro (all the commands needed in one line) to start the command, set the radius then set the command to multiple. CUI->Create a new command (lower left of the dialogue, its a yellow star with an asterisk). Then on the right hand side give the command a name (mine is Fillet 0) then put this in the macro line: ^C^Cf;r;0;;;f;u Then go back to the lower left box and drag that command into the top left box either in your quick access toolbar (along the top) or into a ribbon or toolbar. I have also amended fillet icon for the menu bar. If you don't use it all that often you can just start the fillet command with F then press shift to temporarily override the radius to 0.

Tiger Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 If you don't want the lines to join; make sure you have EDGEMODE set to 1. Start Extend, select both lines, hit Enter and select both lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I didn't think that the lines would join, when filleted, if they were both ordinary lines. If one or both were polylines, then filleting them would join them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbroada Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 you don't have to set the R=0. If you hold down the shift key when selecting the second line it will be filleted with R=0 automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

designerstuart Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 after playing with this i notice you only need to press shift if you have a radius set i.e. radius = 0 you just enter command FILLET and click the lines. done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see if I can get the macro to work now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I didn't think that the lines would join, when filleted, if they were both ordinary lines. If one or both were polylines, then filleting them would join them. Fillet r=0 works on lines/plines and arcs in AutoCAD 2011 and is best method for intersecting two lines/plines and arcs at apparent intersection. With Edgemode = 1 you can EXTEND to apparent intersection, also. This is best if you only want one line/pline to extend to apparent intersection.

f700es Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Wow, I didn't know that!!! Dang, learn something new all the time. Thanks Dave you don't have to set the R=0. If you hold down the shift key when selecting the second line it will be filleted with R=0 automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 in fairness Glen1980 did mention it in his first post but I didn't spot it until after I had posted mine. on an aside - I keep getting emails telling me that it has been "Tip of the Day", lots of times - I guess that means I am not the only one who doesn't look daily.
