The LENGTHEN command is used to change the length of objects and angles of arcs.

Command Access:

Ribbon : Home > Modify > Lengthen
Menu : Modify > Lengthen
Command : LENGTHEN

Command Prompts:

Select an object or [DElta/Percent/Total/DYnamic]:

Function Description:

Users could change length or arc by specifying delta, percentage, total or dynamic. Using the LENGTHEN command is equivalent to TRIM or EXTEND command.

Relative Glossary::

Select an object:
Display the current length of selected line. The LENGTHEN command has no effect on closed objects. The direction of extrusion does not need to parallel to Z axis of current UCS.
Delta:
Change the length of objects by specified delta, the value of delta is measured from the nearest end point of select objects. Users could also use this way to change angles of arcs. The value of delta is measured from the nearest end point of select arc. If the delta value is positive, the selected object will be extended, on the contrary if the delta value is negative, the selected object will be trimmed.

Length:
change the length of object by a specified delta.

Angle :change the angle of object by specified delta.

autocad command lengthen - Angle

Percent : Specify the length of object by setting the percent of object total length.

Length:

autocad command lengthen - Length

Angle:

autocad command lengthen -angle

Total:
Specify the length of object by setting absolute value of the total length; the total length is measured from fixed end point. The "Total" option also specifies the angle of select arc by setting value of total angle.

Total lengthen : Stretch object from the endpoint that nearest from the selected point to specified total lengthen.

autocad command lengthen -total lengthen

Total angle : Specify the total angle of selected angle.

autocad command lengthen - total angle.

Dynamic : Turn on the dynamic drag mode, users could change lengthen of selected object by dragging one endpoint, and other endpoint remains unchanged
