See this command in the command table.

  • Use the quick key combination "cona".

  • Display the Find Command screen, locate connect-strings-attrib and click Run.

Command Overview

Connects two strings, from the selected end-point of the first to the selected end-point of the second.

This command differs from connect-strings in that string point attributes are retained for both strings. To copy string attributes from the first selected string to the merged entity, use connect-strings.

If the two strings started as separate string objects, the second string is incorporated into the first string object and removed from the second.

Command steps:

  1. Run the command.

    If a string is already selected, you are prompted, from the message area of the status bar, to "Select selected string at the required end", otherwise the prompt "Select first string at the required end" is displayed.

  2. You are asked to "Select other string at the required end".

    The two strings are joined between the selected end points.

  3. Complete the command by clicking Done, or double-clicking (or tapping) in a 3D window.
