Other methods for creating composite curves

You can also create composite curves using the following methods:

  • In selection mode, press and hold the Alt key and click on an object.

    This automatically selects all the other objects which are joined to the selected object to form a composite curve. This mode automatically follows connected curves of any type (line, arc, curve, visible trim boundary, lateral, longitudinal) and makes a single composite-curve from them.

  • There is a command to convert selected wireframe items into a composite curve. This is equivalent to using Alt+Click. To use it, select the wireframe, and, in the Command window, type:

    "convert_to_compcurve"

  • Select wireframe objects and click Home tab > Utilities panel > Convert > Wireframe to Composite Curve.

    This creates composite curves from all the selected objects, attempting to connect adjoining pieces.
