To Merge Linework or Profile-Based Objects

Use this procedure to merge contiguous closed polylines, circles, hatches, AEC polygons, mass element extrusions, spaces, or blocks into a single closed-boundary object or linework entity.

  1. Select the linework or object to which you want to add one or more other linework entities or objects.
  2. Click Home tabModify panelMerge Subtract drop-downMerge.
  3. Select the linework/object(s) you want to merge with the originally selected linework/object, and press Enter.
  4. Press Enter to keep the selected linework, or enter y (Yes) to erase it.

    All selected linework and/or objects are merged into a single entity of the type you selected first. That is, if you select an AEC polygon in Step 1 and a space object in Step 3, the resulting entity is an AEC polygon.
