Is there an easy way to join line segments together at their end points?

[Dave]

I have 4 lines segments I have drawn to a specific length using the line
tool.

Now I want to connect the endpoints to create a quadrilateral of a specific
size.

How can I do this?

I'd like to be able to drag the endpoints on top of each other and have them
connect but this won't work.

I can add a connector to the end of the lines and connect them that way but
I have to be very careful about positioning the connector.

I can draw overlapping lines, use the trim operation, delete the remnants
and then group them tohether but this makes it difficult to keep the right
measures.

Is there an easy way to join line segments together at their end points?

As an alternative, instead of combine, use the Join command. The Join
command will allow the ability to add fill to the shape. Otherwise, either
command works fine.

Enjjoy!

Excellent. That's just what I needed.

Thanks much.
