EXTEND Command:
AutoCAD
Command List
The EXTEND command allows you to extend an entity to
touch another entity in a drawing.
To access the Extend
command you can:
click the Extend
button,
OR
select Extend under the Modify Menu,
OR
type extend at a Command:
prompt and press Enter.
--Prompt:
Select boundary edge(s)...
-Select objects: Click on the item(s) that you wish to use as a boundary.
The boundary is the object you want to extend an element TO (you can select
more than one boundary edge so that multiple extensions can be made at one
time). Press Enter or click the right mouse button to end
the boundary selection process.
--Prompt: <Select object to extend>/Project/Edge/Undo: Click
on the end of the line you want AutoCAD to extend (on the
side that should be extented). AutoCAD is directional in this command.
If you have more than one boundary edge selected, or the boundary edge could
intersect the object at more than one end (as with an arc), it is possible
to extend the element in the wrong direction.
--Prompt: <SELECT object to extend> /Project/Edge/Undo:
If you have other lines to extend, you can continue selecting them or, if
an element was extended incorrectly, you can type u and
press Enter to undo the mistake. After all of the extensions are
complete, press Enter to exit the command.
