Opening and closing polylines

When you close a polyline, the program draws a straight polyline segment from the last vertex of the polyline to the first vertex. Opening a polyline removes the closing segment. When you select a polyline for editing, the prompt box displays either the Open or Close option, depending on whether the polyline you select is closed or open.

To close an open polyline

  1. Do one of the following:
  2. Select the polyline.
  3. In the prompt box, choose Close.
  4. In the prompt box, choose another option, or choose Done to complete the command.

 

 

 

Closing an open polyline adds a straight polyline segment between the first (A) and last (B) vertices.
