    Description

    The Draft Join.svg Draft Join command joins Draft Lines and Draft Wires into a single wire. This command is the counterpart of the Draft Split command.

    Usage

    1. The end points of the Draft Lines and/or Draft Wires to be joined must be exactly coincident. If required first adjust points to ensure that this is the case.
    2. Select two or more Draft Lines and/or Draft Wires.
    3. There are several ways to invoke the command:
      • Press the Draft Join.svg Draft Join button.
      • Select the Modification → Draft Join.svg Join option from the menu.
      • Use the keyboard shortcut: J then O.

    Notes

    Scripting

    See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

    To join wires use the join_wires method (introduced in version 0.19) of the Draft module. This methods replaces the deprecated joinWires method. This method returns None.

    join_wires(wires)
    
    • wires is a list of wire objects to be joined.

    Example:

    import FreeCAD as App
    import Draft
    
    doc = App.newDocument()
    
    p1 = App.Vector(0, 0, 0)
    p2 = App.Vector(500, 0, 0)
    p3 = App.Vector(500, 500, 0)
    p4 = App.Vector(0, 500, 0)
    
    wire1 = Draft.make_wire([p1, p2])
    wire2 = Draft.make_wire([p2, p3])
    wire3 = Draft.make_wire([p3, p4])
    wire4 = Draft.make_wire([p4, p1])
    
    Draft.join_wires([wire1, wire3, wire2, wire4])
    doc.recompute()
