Polyline: Create Polyline from Existing Segments

Christian
Here I am again,

Strangely I just cannot seem to be able to use it: first I draw a polyline of any type, then select the tool, the Command line says: Choose one of the segments of the original polyline; I cannot get passed that stage as no segment can be selected.

Regards again,

Christian

Actually it does work;
however, the lines are not highlighted (this is a bug).

I recommend that you first select all the lines you want to convert, and then select the tool.
In this order, selecting the tool finalizes the operation.

Thank you Ravas,

You are right it does work. While checking your comment, I realised I was missing the scope of the tool: I thought using it I would be able to extend an existing polyline, a little bit like Append node, in fact what it does is either make a polyline out of several connected segments, lines and/or arcs, or several connected polylines. I think what misled me is the writing on the Command line: "Choose one of the segments on the original polyline".
May I suggest that instead it says: "Choose a first segment", once that is done: "Choose a second segment"...and so on, or "Choose one of the segments on the future polyline", once that is done: "Choose another segment on the future polyline", in such way I think it would be more explicit.

Regards,

Christian
