Lengthen Command in AutoCAD
The lengthen command in AutoCAD is used to change the length of an object, such as a line, arc, polyline, or spline. This command allows you to extend, shorten, or modify the total length or included angle of objects.
To use the lengthen command:
- Type LENGTHEN or LEN in the command line.
- Select the object you want to modify.
- Choose one of the lengthening options:
- Delta: Specify the amount to add or subtract from the length.
- Percent: Change the length by a percentage of the original length.
- Total: Set a specific total length for the object.
- Dynamic: Use the cursor to interactively change the length.
- Enter the required value or use the mouse to apply the change.
The lengthen command is useful for precise adjustments to objects' dimensions in a drawing.
