    Posted: 29.Aug.2016 at 00:03
Let's say I draw one a poly line horizontal and the next vertical some distance apart. When I use a 90deg chamfer to make a corner the lines are then joined as one. Is there a way to stop this as I would still like them to still be seperate lines?

Hello Wayne, if you don't want the polylines to be united ( in one polyline ) then use the command LINE and not POLYLINE or you can explode the polyline.

I need to show line width and if I explode the width is gone.

That is what I have done in the past. Just an extra step.
Still hard to believe that you can't stop the joining in the first place.
Thank

Rather than CHAMFER, use EXTEND?

Try PolylineSubdivide.lsp with is PSD command, available here.  It will at least reduce your "extra step" to one command with a simple object selection, instead of your needing to select the Polyline, specify the First option and give it the corner twice [or even the selection and the corner pick if you have a built-in-First-option routine], or do multiple single-point Breaks if you have non-zero Chamfer distances.
 
Of course, if you break them up like that, they will lose the angled ends that the Chamfered single Polyline has at the corners.
