You can modify the width of individual segments with the Properties Inspector
palette. Changing any other property for a polyline segment affects the entire
polyline.
Modify Polylines with Coincident Grips
Coincident grips are grips that are shared between multiple objects. When
polyline objects sharing the same grip are selected together, multi-functional
grip-editing options are not supported for the coincident grip. However, you
can still edit the coincident grip using the standard Grip modes (Stretch, Move,
Rotate, Scale, and Mirror).
NOTE Multi-functional grip-editing options for coincident grips are supported
when only one of the polyline objects is selected.
Join Polyline Segments
You can join a line, an arc, or another polyline to an open polyline if their
ends connect or are close to each other.
If the ends are not coincident but are within a distance that you can set, called
the fuzz distance, the ends are joined by either trimming them, extending
them, or connecting them with a new segment.
Spline-fit polylines return to their original shape when joined. Polylines cannot
be joined into a Y shape.
If the properties of several objects being joined into a polyline differ, the
resulting polyline inherits the properties of the first object that you selected.
