Joining and Breaking Linear Objects

You can join two or more routable roads, tracks, lines, arcs, or splines into a single entity.

You can also break routable roads, tracks, lines, or splines. You cannot break arcs.

To Join

Use the following steps to join linear objects.

1. Click the Draw tab.

2. Click the Select tool

, press and hold the SHIFT key on the keyboard, and select

any lines, arcs, or splines you want to join.

Click the Select tool

and drag a box around the linear objects you want to join.

Note When joining the preceding types of line objects, you can mix and match lines,

arcs, and splines. The result is always a line. However, when you join multiple

splines, the resulting joined object is a spline.

Join the lines by pressing CTRL+J or the keyboard shortcut combination you assigned

for the joining function.

Draw, and then click Break Line.

Break the line by pressing CTRL+B or the keyboard shortcut combination you

assigned for the breaking function.

line separately.

map, use another tab, and so on between steps, you may need to repeat the steps

again to break your linear object.
