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: Close or Open / Join / Width / Edit vertex / Fit / Spline /Decurve / Ltype gen / Undo / eXit <X>: 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.

eXit-- Exits the command.
