How to combine two lines in one in mechanical sketches

[mech-eng]

Would somebody explain how to combine two lines into one? I think this is a CAD question. It's from Ansys's DesignModeler, Geometry Engine.

I would like to make lines 1 which is at the right hand side like 2 which is left hand side of the L-shape object.

In that program there are options like in AutoCAD.

Thank you.

Thank you.

When you say "combine", do you mean "group" like in Visio? Does AutoCAD have a "group" function?

I cannot explain it properly. I mean they are two lines added end to end but I want to make them one line. How can I get rid of that thing to which arrow is pointing?

Is it O.K now?

Thank you.

Unselect the line?

Oh I see...

Probably easier just to delete them and replace with one new line.

CAD systems do normally have a comprehensive range of tools for joining and splitting lines . Very useful sometimes but not really needed for this simple task .

eg

FEA systems usually have specific tools for adding , deleting and moving nodes .

Yes, it might not need but for exploring the interface and operation, I would like to learn it.

But that command or constraint, I do not know how I can call, probably have a common symbol or or name. Would you explain it?

Thank you.
