Sectioning a Line (continued)

Hello

Following my first question, is it possible to go the other way? ^^
Like starting from several lines / arcs to have only one line / spline with a simple function, without recreating everything each time?
(This time, I looked longer but couldn't find anything ;))

Thank you

Joss

Two solutions: 

 

- If you have two lines and you want to have only one, you must: make these two lines COLINEAR, then select the point between these two lines and delete it

 

- If it's a series of splines, arcs, lines, you have to use the spline tool "adjust spline", which will create a spline with all your entities =)

For a spline, it is possible:

Hello

From all the lines and arcs present we can make a single curve (provided that there are tangencies between the arcs). If there is really a need to have a sketch, this curve is passed back in line with the convert entities function.

But for two collinear lines, I don't think it's possible:

 

One must be deleted, then the other must be extended:

It is quite possible. All you have to do is make the lines collinear (you absolutely have to add this geometric relationship)

Thank you @Lucas, the tutorial corresponds exactly to my request. I had already tried to remove the dots between splines/lines but since I don't use collinearity relations very much, I couldn't do it;)

PS: Dsl pr the slowness of the response but I need to hear the tutorials several times when it's spoken English ;p.

Damn, I got the wrong answer, I wanted to put your first answer @Lucas :s

It's not a big deal, I still got the points ;-)

 

For your information, on Youtube, you can activate automatic subtitling, it's worth what it's worth, but that's already it:

 

You have to click at the bottom right of the player, on the subtitle symbol (see attached image), then put "Yes".
