Extending & Trimming lines to apparent points.

[Engineeeeeeeeer]

I use AutoCAD on different stations that run different versions of AutoCAD.

On the 2005 LT, I can extend or trim lines that do not cross - eg below.

Imagine the exclamation marks are a straght line, I would be able to click extend, select both lines, enter, then select the first line and it would extend, and then the second line and that would extend.

THe PrObLeM is with AutoCAD 2006 full. After selecting the to lines, it does not allow the lines to be extended as, for eg, if the vertical line was clicked, it would not extend as the horizontal line is not directly above it.

Hope the above is clear, and what I am after is a way that I make make the 2006 CAD behave the same as the 2005LT.

Thanks for any help.

List the lines and see if they're coplanar.

Set EDGEMODE = 1, perhaps?

If it is a corner which has 2 lines which you want to join, do a fillet with a radius of 0 rather then extending lines.

Thanks for the replies.

Seant took home the gold through, it was the edgemode that was set to 0, and now it's changed to 1 it behaving how I'm used to it behaving.

Conversley, I mentioned this to a colleague, and he too had the same problem albeit the other way around.

Thanks again.
