    AutoCAD Join objects

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi everyone,

    I'd like to know how can i join these objects. I'm trying to use PEDIT command but no success. The objects are not touching so it's not possible?

    How can i join two objects that aren't touching each other.
    Thanks!

    For sure you cannot join them, but you can tie them toghether - check the BLOCK or GROUP commands.

    The join concept refers to contiguous entities being in contact - please check the help of PLINE and PEDIT commands.

    The FUZZ FACTOR definition at the end of the series of commands allows you to specify the FUDGE factor (meaning how great an opening will be bridged).
    Or you could just use the FILLET command, with 0 as the fillet distance. Then JOIN them after they have all been extended by the FILLET command.

    If you don't want to have to respond to queries about changing nonpolylines to polylines?
    Set your PEDITACCEPT SYSTEM VARIABLE TO 1 (at your commandline).

    Mircea, I suspect that igones doesn't want to JOIN the two circles, and instead wants to JOIN the two lines defining the rectangle.
    I've been wrong before though, so let's see what he means.

    igones, you better provide more information as your original problem description doesn't make logical sense in AutoCAD functionality terms. (especially PEDIT)

    that's probably why they posted in the beginner forum. is the language of AutoCAD the only one you speak?

    i think you're after the BLOCK command - this means when you select one entity, all the others connected inside the block are selected too. is this what you're trying to do?

    Select them both, right click, Group, Group.

    Or use the Block command.

    Let me try to explain it better.

    I know how to turn lines into polylines. But, i want to turn different objects into one object.

    And other thing I want to know is to "group" objects, like when i click in one part of the object (rectangle) the whole object (rectangle + circle) be selected.

    Sorry for my Brazilian English

    As others have already said the command you are looking for is GROUP or BLOCK. Have you used either of these commands before?
