To Create a Frame or Mullion Edge From a Polyline or Profile Using In-Place Editing

Use this procedure to assign a profile to a vertical edge of a frame or mullion. The profile can be any profile or any closed polyline that you specify. You can use a profile edge to create a unique corner in situations where a simple miter is not sufficient.

Note: Adjacent infills are not trimmed or expanded to accommodate the new edge. To adjust the infill, change the width of the frame edge.
