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? Wayne ------------- wayne |

| 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. ------------- wayne |

"BREAK" the polyline @ intersection? |

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 ------------- wayne |

Rather than CHAMFER, use EXTEND? |

Try PolylineSubdivide.lsp with is PSD command, available http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/polyline-width-to-polyline-making/m-p/2660307#M288204" rel="nofollow - 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.
