Join Polyline Segments
You can join a line, an arc, or another polyline to an open polyline if their
ends connect or are close to each other.
If the ends are not coincident but are within a distance that you can set, called
the fuzz distance, the ends are joined by either trimming them, extending
them, or connecting them with a new segment.
Spline-fit polylines return to their original shape when joined. Polylines cannot
be joined into a Y shape.
If the properties of several objects being joined into a polyline differ, the
resulting polyline inherits the properties of the first object that you selected.

Modify Splines
Several methods are available for editing splines and changing their underlying
mathematical parameters.
You can edit splines using multi-functional grips, SPLINEDIT, 3DEDITBAR,
and the Properties Inspector palette. In addition to these operations, splines
can be trimmed, extended, and filleted.
Edit Splines with Multi-Functional Grips
Multi-functional grips provide options that include adding control vertices
and changing the tangent direction of the spline at its endpoints. Display a
menu of options by hovering over a grip.
