How to Connect Two Lines in Autocad
To draw a figure, polygon or almost any drawing entity we need to connect two lines. There are many ways to connect two lines in autocad. One is using the FILLET command. Just type in FILLET, set the radius to 0 and select the lines you want connected. Another way is by extending the two lines until they overlap and then TRIM the first line and then the second line. The third method is using EXTEND command.
First, manually extend the first line such that it serves as a boundary for the second line. That is, that when you extend the second line it will hit the first line. Now when everything is set, type in EXTEND, select the first line as the boundary line and then select the second line as the line that should be extended. The second line should extend and hit the first line. Finally, type in TRIM to cut the extra length from the first line.
