Join a line with an arc


Recommended Posts

This is something I can never make work.

I want to duplicate along a path.

The path contains an arc. I can't freehand draw this because it comes out all wavy.

So I draw a straight line, an arc, and another straight line, but you can't duplicate along multiple lines.

If I try to join a line, and an arc together they form a 90­° L.

If I decompose the arc to lines they won't join.

see attached super simple example.

This can't be this hard.

The Join tool will joining or trim two lines together to make a line or two lines. If you compose the lines together they become a polyline which may not be what some users would want. In all honesty the differences are subtle but I can see a use for some of the functions. Take a look at the help files to see what I mean http://app-help.vectorworks.net/2018/eng/index.htm#t=VW2018_Guide%2FObjects_edit2%2FJoining_Objects.htm&rhsearch=join&rhhlterm=join&rhsyns=

 

It feels like a command that has been superseded by other more elaborate tools. I guess some users would miss it so maybe Vectorworks they have kept it just in case..... ?
