To Attach Multiple Lines or Curves to Existing Objects

The lines or curves are drawn from the end of the object closest to the selection point.

To attach multiple lines

  1. Click Home tab Draw panel Attach Multiple.
  2. Select a line or arc.
  3. Enter Line, or L, to attach a line.
  4. Enter the length of the new line section.

    The new line is drawn and the following prompt is displayed:

    Enter an attachment option [Line/Arc/Undo]:
    
  5. Continue to add line or arc segments or use the Undo option to undo the last segment.

To attach multiple curves

  1. Click Home tab Draw panel Attach Multiple.
  2. Select a line or arc.
  3. Enter Arc, or A, to attach an arc.
  4. Specify one of the following types of entries to use:
    • Point: Enter P and then specify the end of the chord. The curve is then drawn.
    • Radius: Enter R and then do one of the following:
      • Enter the radius at the prompt.
      • Enter A and enter a degree of curve.
      • Enter C and enter a degree of chord.
      Note: When drawing a curve, specifying a positive radius or degree of curve draws the curve clockwise or to the right of the starting angle, whereas a negative radius or degree of curve draws the type curve counterclockwise or to the left.

    After you enter the radius or degree of curve, the following prompt is displayed:

    Select entry [Tangent/Chord/Delta/Length/External/Mid-ordinate] <Length>:
    
  5. Do one of the following:
    • Enter Tangent, or T, and then enter the tangent length, or pick the distance in the drawing.
    • Enter Chord, or C , and then enter the chord length, or pick the distance in the drawing.
    • Enter Delta, or D, and then enter the delta angle, or pick the distance in the drawing.
    • Enter Length, or L, and then enter the curve length, or pick the distance in the drawing.
    • Enter External, or E, and then enter the external distance, or pick the distance in the drawing.
    • Enter Mid-ordinate, or M, and then enter the mid-ordinate distance, or pick the distance in the drawing.

    The new line is drawn and the following prompt is displayed:

    Enter an attachment option [Line/Arc/Undo]:
    
  6. Continue to add line or arc segments or use the Undo option to undo the last segment.
