In this video, author Shaun Bryant uses Polyline Edit to change the geometry of an existing polyline in the drawing.
- [Instructor] We're staying in our…17_CenterlinesSplines.dwg file.…And as you can see I've left it in the same state…as it was in the previous video,…where we created the second outhouse…using the PolyLine command.…We're going to stay with the A-EXTERNAL layer…as the active layer.…You can see that up in the Layers panel,…in the the Home tab there on the Ribbon.…But we are going to do,…we're going to zoom in real close…on our PolyLine that we've created.…So get the crosshair roughly in the middle,…roll up a few notches now on the wheel on the mouse,…so that it fills the screen.…
Zoom in, get close to your detail.…There's no use sitting there squinting…and trying to see really small things on the screen.…Use those zoom commands to make your life a lot easier.…Now what we're going to do…is we're going to edit our PolyLine.…And what I'm going to do…is completely change the geometry of our PolyLine,…and then edit the PolyLine…and make it back into a PolyLine again.…Sounds a bit crazy, but it does work.…So, what we'll do is we'll go to the Modify panel…
