Is it possible to convert lines to closed polyline?

Post by HappyShat » Fri Oct 11, 2019 8:27 pm

I've got a shape that I'm importing into another CAD program. I'd like to change the attached drawing to be a closed polyline. Is this possible? I noticed that I have the extension DXF for the file name. Should I save as a DWG file first?

Thanks for your help!

My System and QCAD version:
Windows 10 Prof.
QCAD version 3.22.1.0

Yes, that is possible with the "Polyline from Segments" tool. (Menu, Draw, Polyline). It will work at dxf and dwg. :wink:
Doublecheck the "closed" status within the Property Editor.
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.
