Quick Reference
PEDIT
Edits polylines and 3D polygon meshes.
JOIN
Joins the endpoints of lines, 2D and 3D polylines, arcs, elliptical arcs, helixes,
and splines to create single object.
REVERSE
Reverses the vertices of selected lines, polylines, splines, and helixes, which
is useful for linetypes with included text, or wide polylines with differing
beginning and ending widths.
GRIPS
Controls the color of selected grips.
GRIPMULTIFUNCTIONAL
Specifies the access methods to multi-functional grips.
GRIPSUBOBJMODE
Controls whether grips are automatically made hot when subobjects are
selected.
PEDITACCEPT
Suppresses display of the Object Selected Is Not a Polyline prompt in PEDIT.
PLINECONVERTMODE
Specifies the fit method used in converting splines to polylines.
SPLINESEGS
Sets the number of line segments to be generated for each spline-fit polyline
generated by the Spline option of the PEDIT command.
SPLINETYPE
Sets the type of curve generated by the Spline option of the PEDIT command.
SURFTYPE
Controls the type of surface-fitting to be performed by the Smooth option
of the PEDIT command.
