Hello
Do you know (if possible) how to extend a polyline? I dug a little bit into all the options in Edit the polyline but nothing helps.
Thank you

In fact, I would like to add a segment (line or arc) to an end of an unclosed polyline.
Hello
Draftsight is really not my cup of tea but after a few tries, to extend a polyline after the last segment you double-click on the polyline to edit it, you type SHIFT + E for Edit vertex then SHIFT + N several times to go to the last vertex then SHIFT + I for Insert and there normally you can give the next end point.
To extend the polyline at the beginning of it, I only found the double-click to edit the polyline, then SHIFT + E then SHIFT + I for Insert then move the points because the add segment is inserted between the starting point and the second point.
It's a bit "space"
Kind regards

Indeed it's downright cumbersome as a manip'..
I had resigned myself to adding a line/arc and then merging the element added to my polyline (SHIFT+J to join)!
Thank you!

@dbz have you looked at the tutorial I posted
It seems to me simpler than the explanation of our friend @d. Roger

It's actually a little easier with the SHIFT J:
You create another polyline starting from the end of the first one then you select your two polylines then you type SHIFT J then ENTER, then you select your first polyline then the second then you validate, this welds the 2 polylines into a single polyline .....
Kind regards

@gt22:
Seen, but in my case I don't extend to an entity so it doesn't work. On the other hand, it's true that it's great for adjustments!
