POLYLINE EDIT (PEDIT) Command:

AutoCAD Command List

The PEDIT Command allows you to modify Polylines (Plines) in several ways.

To access the Pedit command you can:

type pedit or pe at a Command: prompt

OR

select Object and then Polyline under the Modify Menu.

—Prompt: Select polyline: Click on the object you wish to modify.
NOTE: If the item you select is not a Polyline (PLINE) a prompt will ask you if you wish to convert it to one.

—Prompt: Enter an option [Close / Join / Width / Edit vertex / Fit / Spline /Decurve / Ltype gen / Undo]: Select an Option.

Useful Options:

Close— Connects the last segment of a pline to the first.

Open— Removes the closing segment, if the Close option was used previously.

Join— Joins or connects, any pline, lines, or arc that have exact matching endpoints to the selected pline.

Spline— Converts a pline from straight line segments to a Bezier Spline (a set of curves that pass through the endpoints of each line segment). NOTE: This feature is useful for creating Splines for SHORT BREAK LINES in a sectional view.

Ltype gen— When OFF, controls the placement of the breaks between dashes in line types like Hidden Lines so that they break properly at corners.

Undo— Reverses that last Pedit operation.
