Beng Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 hi all! i was wondering if there is a way to convert multiple lines (non collinear) into polylines? this to be able to add the "global width" property to the objects. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I will admit that I am not sure what 'collinear' means? Lines on the same plane? Or through the same point? As long as they are not on different Z's, PEDIT should do the trick, just choose Multiple when you are prompted to select. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbadbob658 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Pedit then 'm' for multiple, select the lines and follow the command line prompts. Note if they are non planer you won't be able to join them to gether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beng Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the quick reply! http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Collinear.html (collinear) but for your answer: this works, yes, but i have A LOT of lines to select. it would be much more effective to first select the lines through quick select then use the "magic tool" Edited October 9, 2012 by Beng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (And yeah, I found that about collinear too - but being slightly slow right now, English feels like my fourth language today) select via qselect > do something small (like move a bit and then undo to move back) > start PEDIT > M for multiple > P for previous selection. And I am sure some Lisp-geek will say "doh! just go use ssget" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogbadbob658 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 As Tiger said but if when you use move just return through the options and nothing will move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Ahhh smrt Bog! What you are actually doing is using any old point as a basepoint and the same point as the move-to-point - didn't think of that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Use Qselect then the Express tool MPEDIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
