Join Polyline By Trace

This command combines linework entities to create a polyline. This command is similar to Join Nearest. The difference is that this command processes a single polyline at a time instead of a selection set of polylines. This command prompts for a linework entity to start joining from. Then the program looks in the drawing at other linework to join to this polyline using the filter options from the dialog. All the options in the dialog are the same as Join Nearest except the Prompt For Linework To Join option which prompts for other linework to join to the polyline once the program has finished tracing. See the Join Nearest section of the manual for descriptions of the other options.
