WALL CAP

This command draws a line "capping" the end of a wall. (drawing a line connecting the endpoints of the outermost line segments selected) The wall may consist of any number or combination of lines, plines and mlines. If the outermost lines are on different layers, colors, and/or lineweights you will be prompted to select which you would like to use.

User configurable options: none

Layers:

If the outermost lines are on different layers you will be prompted to select which you would like to have the capping line drawn on.

Known limitations:

None reported. If there is something this command will not do that you think it should please let us know.

Alternate uses:

This command can be used for more than just walls, use it any time you need to connect the outermost endpoints of a group of lines/plines/mlines (instead of drawing a line and having to use the endpoint object snap).

Select the first point near the end of a wall

Second point:

Select the second point of the line crossing the lines/plines/mlines that make up the wall. If the outermost two line segments are on a different layer, are a different color and/or lineweight you will be prompted to select which of the two the line should be. For this example we are assuming that they differ only in color (the white line is color bylayer and the yellow line is color "2"). The following dialog would appear:

The colors of the two outermost line segments are displayed. Select which you would like to use. For this example we will select the yellow color.
