Connect endpoints

The ‘Connect’ button allows users to connect (fillet) two elements. This tool may be used to connect lines, polylines, and arcs, etc.
Note: Those elements must be on the same plane.

To connect to elements:

• Select the ‘Connect’ button.
• Select the first element and the second element. (Click on the area of the element to be connected that you wish to keep).
