Summary
You can specify changes as a percentage, an increment, or as a final length or
angle. LENGTHEN is an alternative to using TRIM or EXTEND.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Select an object or [DElta/Percent/Total/DYnamic]: Select one object or enter an
option
Object Selection
Displays the length and, where applicable, the included angle of the object.
LENGTHEN does not affect closed objects. The extrusion direction of the
selected object need not be parallel to the Z axis of the current user coordinate
system (UCS).
Delta
Changes the length of an object by a specified increment, measured from the
endpoint that is closest to the selection point. Delta also changes the angle
of an arc by a specified increment, measured from the endpoint that is closest
to the selection point. A positive value extends the object; a negative value
trims it.
