Description:

 Append Line draws a line and appends it to a selected LineString item, such that the new LineString item and the old LineString item become a single LineString item. When you select the command, the new LineString is commenced where the original LineString item finished, and you can carry on inputting new points to draw to.

This command can be used with LineString items constructed using LineString [Create-Simple], Bezier [Create-Advanced], Arc Angle, Centre, Point [Create-Advanced].

Example:

1. Select the existing LineString item.
   
2. Select Append Line [CAD-Alter] (or select Append Line from the Map Window menu). You will see a line rubberbanding from one end (whichever was the last position drawn to) of the selected LineString item:
   
   
   
   If you want to append to the other end of the LineString item, you must first reverse it using Reverse [Edit-Geometry].
   
   
3. Keep on inputting points to draw the LineString item as normal.
