Newbie: Drawing Continuous Lines

I'd like to create 1 'spline' made out of multiple segments of straight lines so that I can lathe it.

Imagine the top of a castle (parapet). How do you make a single object in that shape?

When I draw the lines, they all come up at separate objects. I can't figure out how to join them either.

How would I join 2 splines together.

Help much appreciated.

    You can either use the Open Polyline tool or you can create individual curves and use the Combine tool to join them together.
