How to Extend Lines to shape 2D Polyline

[Mountain_XD]

Please help me Extend Lines to Polyline. Thanks so much !

Extend Lines to Polyline.dwg

You don't need a lisp for that. just the extend command.

[ScottMC]

check your 'projmode if 'extend too' entity is on a different 'Z'

I like [2]

I agree with you but what if there are a lot of polylines and lines?

Interesting Bricscad using "Fence" option. No code needed.

Going to have to click a little then. or use fence like BIGAL shows.

BIGAL that helps for sure! All the more inspires me to dig deeper into your posts/tips period.

AutoCAD refuses to double extend for some reason.

For future reference, in the supplied .dwg, it's LWPolyline shapes not 2D Polyline shapes as in the title, there is a difference.

 

 LWPOLYLINE  Layer: "A_Dai_Coc_S_02"
                            Space: Model space
                   Color: BYLAYER    Linetype: "Continuous"
                   Handle = 167
            Closed
    Constant width     0'-0"
              area   5418979.86 square in. (37631.8046 square ft.)
         perimeter   791'-11 9/32"

          at point  X=22622'-6 5/16"  Y=176'-5 5/8"  Z=    0'-0"
          at point  X=22784'-3 15/32"  Y=141'-6 27/32"  Z=    0'-0"
          at point  X=22907'-5 13/32"  Y=279'-3 15/16"  Z=    0'-0"
          at point  X=22708'-11 1/16"  Y=378'-6 5/32"  Z=    0'-0"

 

2D Polyline 

 

                  POLYLINE  Layer: "KCS_DIM"
                            Space: Model space
                   Color: BYLAYER    Linetype: "Continuous"
                   Handle = 179
              Open
    starting width     0'-0"
      ending width     0'-0"
              area      0.00 sq in (0.0000 sq ft)
            length 2566'-5 17/32"

                  VERTEX    Layer: "KCS_DIM"
                            Space: Model space
                   Color: BYLAYER    Linetype: "Continuous"
                   Handle = 17b
                at point, X=23794'-4 1/8"  Y=-362'-5 9/32"  Z=    0'-0"
    starting width     0'-0"
      ending width     0'-0"

                  VERTEX    Layer: "KCS_DIM"
                            Space: Model space
                   Color: BYLAYER    Linetype: "Continuous"
                   Handle = 17c
                at point, X=21227'-10 19/32"  Y=-362'-5 9/32"  Z=    0'-0"
    starting width     0'-0"
      ending width     0'-0"

                  END SEQUENCE  Layer: "KCS_DIM"
                            Space: Model space
                   Color: BYLAYER    Linetype: "Continuous"
                   Handle = 17a

 

If I have time, I'll see what I can come up with.

Even with AutoCAD probably still pretty fast for fence, but a LISP would help.

 

I tried several things and I can't get AutoCAD 2026 to double extend as per @BIGAL's example.
