Can you lengthen a Line by a given Distance?

    Is there a good way to lengthen a line in Trimble Business Center?. My current workflow to add Feet to a line is to draw a circle at the end of the line with a 5' radius, Use Extend Command, Delete Circle. This process seems ok for 1 line, but if I have multiple lines, it's a bit time-consuming.

    In the Trim / Extend command there is an option called One Line By Distance - you can select to Extend or Trim by that distance, Enter the distance and then click the line that you want to Extend or Trim at the end that you want to trim or extend.

     

    If you have multiple lines to do this to it is as simple as then just clicking each line that you want to modify.

     

    Hope this helps

    Alan,

     

    Thank you for the response. That is exactly what I was looking for.

    Little sub note on Extend Line by distance, the command extends the line from the nearest end to your click (beginning or end) of the line, it does not automatically extend the "end" of the line.
