converting conected objects into polylines

hi, have a code segment that only works for polilynes, and i want to apply it to a multiple-object 2d figure. is a closed figure and i've heard that you can convert a selection of objects into a polyline.. is this true? how can i acomplish that?
thanks!

 

Have you tried PEDIT/Join ?

 

thanks! now.. how do i use it? i made a selection group and then call iT?

 

you could look into acad-help-file?


_pedit 'start command
_o 'option for multiple objects (acad2004 and higher)
<select all objects you want to join>
<enter>
_y 'convert to poly
'(this question may appear, depending on acad-variable in 2005)
_j 'join
<put a distance-value as fuzzy-tol>
<enter> 'finish command

Take the coordinates of each individual line and use them as the coordinates
for creating a new polyline. Then delete the original line segments thus
giving the illusion of "converting" a group of connected line segments into
a single polyline.
