Hello,

i have two lines. One is vertical and one is horizontal. The horizontal one i would like to extend to the vertical one. The vertical line is drawn under an 45°angle.

Under Geom->line-edit->extend i first pic the horizontal line. then i pic the vertical one and extend it, but nothing happens, why?

2. question:
how i can check, if there is an 100% connectivity of combined lines generally?

thank you

    HotSauce,

    I'm assuming that you don't want the vertical line to move. You would like the hortizontal line to extend. It sounds that you have already toggled the distance box to the entity type option. When you extend, you have to be mindful of what direction you want to extend the line with respect to the global axis. If it is in the negative direction, you would use the extend - option.

    Hope that helps,

    Brandon
