GcCollinear

Works with Bricscad (Windows) Classic, Pro and Platinum, Bricscad (Linux) Classic, Pro and Platinum

Forces lines or polyline segments to be collinear.

This command is equivalent to the Collinear option of the GEOMCONSTRAINT command.

Accessing the Command

command bar: gccollinear

menu bar: Parametric | 2D Constraints | Collinear

toolbar: 2D Constraints |

: gccollinear

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select first entity or [Multiple]: (select a line or polyline segment.)

Select second entity: (select a line or polyline segment.)

The second entity is made collinear to the first.

Command Options

Option	Description
Multiple
Select first entity	Select a line or polyline segment.
Select entity to make collinear to first:	Select multiple lines or polyline segments (segments of the same polyline are accepted). Right click to stop selecting entities.
