■ Combining several long polylines in a topographic map.
■ Joining two splines, leaving a kink between them.
In general cases, joining objects that touch end-to-end, but that are not in
the same plane result in 3D polylines and splines.
NOTE You can also use the Join option of the PEDIT command to combine a series
of lines, arcs, and polylines into a single polyline
