Elliptical Arc Only elliptical arcs can be joined to the source elliptical arc.

The elliptical arcs must be coplanar and have the same major and minor axes,

but can have gaps between them. The elliptical arcs are joined counterclockwise

starting from the source elliptical arc.

The Close option converts the source elliptical arc into an ellipse.

Helix Any linear or curved object can be joined to the source helix. All objects

must be contiguous, but can be noncoplanar. The resulting object is a single

spline.

Spline Any linear or curved object can be joined to the source spline. All

objects must be contiguous, but can be noncoplanar. The resulting object is

a single spline.

Multiple Objects to Join at Once

Joins multiple objects without specifying a source object. The rules and

resulting object types are as follows:

 A line object results from joining collinear lines. The lines can have gaps

between their endpoints.

 An arc or circle object results from joining coplanar arcs with the same

center point and radius. The arcs can have gaps between their endpoints.

Lengthening occurs in a counterclockwise direction. A circle object results

if the joined arcs form a complete circle.

 A spline object results from joining splines, elliptical arcs, or helixes

together, or to other objects. The objects can be noncoplanar.

 A polyline object results from joining coplanar lines, arcs, polylines, or 3D

polylines.

 A 3D polyline results from joining noncoplanar objects other than curved

objects.
