You need two or more entities (lines/arcs) which fits exactly on their endpoints. If there is a little gap between the entities, maybe only visible in a very high zoom level, the tool doesn't work.
Use snap endpoints when drawing the entities or use trim both to connect them. Then click on one of the entities when the tool is activated and all connected entities are combined in a single polyline entity.

When you select the entity after deactivating the tool, all former entities should be selected as part of the polyline.

With the Modify->Explode tool you can revert this and split the polyline into its former single entities.
