To Join Segments
1. On the Design tab, click Editing > Join. The Join tab opens.
2. Select two intersecting planar segments to join.
 
* Alternatively, you can first select the geometry and then click Join.
3. To flip the portion of the segments to join, click to flip the portion of the first segment, or click to flip the portion of the second segment.
4. To add a bend at the segment intersection, click and set the value of the bend radius and bend location:
—dimensions the radius from the outside surface of the segment.
—dimensions the radius from the inside surface of the segment.
—dimensions the radius according to the location controlled by the BOARD_RADIUS_SIDE parameter.
5. To change the default bend relief, click Relief. The Relief tab opens. Select a relief type.
For Rectangular and Obround reliefs, type values for the relief depth, relief angle, and relief width.
6. To trim the nonintersecting portions of the segments, click Options. The Options tab opens. Click the Trim nonintersecting geometry check box and select one of these options:
Up to bend—Trims the segments up to the bend. This option is available only when you add a bend at the segment intersection.
Up to intersection line—Trims the segments up to their intersection.
Click Along intersection line to trim the nonintersecting portions of the segment along the intersection line.
7. To set a feature specific bend allowance, click Bend Allowance.
