Convert Lines to a Polyline

Use this function to convert a single Line or join a series of lines into one Polyline.

Below is an example of a shape drawn with 6 separate Lines, which means each line can be selected individually.

Converting a Line or a series of joined Lines into a Polyline will give you these advantages.

Create a Polyline from a Line(s)

1

Select the line(s) that you want to convert to a Polyline as shown below.

If you have multiple shapes made of lines that need converting, select those also.

2

Now select the 'Build Polyline' option after clicking the Build button from the DRAW ribbon as shown below.

3

You'll now notice that the lines are de-selected (no nodes showing as they do above).

You now need to select any of the lines (click on it) that need to be converted to a Polyline.

The lines may flicker a little which means your Polyline has now been created, or if you have selected multiple lines that are not connected, the below message will appear to allow you to also convert those lines to Polylines if you wish.
