Hi!

I find this thread to can extend polylines dynamically

http://autocadtips.wordpress.com/2011/10/19/lengthen-polyline-endpoint-vertex/

For me itīs pretty to much number of mouseclicks, so maybe it is here a function already to use ?!

I'm a little confused.
If you select the pline, grips appear. Pick the grip, it turns red and you are in stretch mode.
What more do you need?

Yes I think itīs little complicate. Normally you can use Autocad to extend a polyline:
1) marks grips run stretch mode
2) press B for Base point
3) marks grips 1times again
4) type in EXT and than you can dynamically change length

Iīm asking if itīs possible to can collect 4 steps in 1.
1) type command
2) select grips and than extend

You can take a look with command (command "lengthen" "dy") but it works only with lines. I look for same for polylines

Which version ACad are you using? My Vanilla 2012 works fine with the Lengthen command on polylines.

Must have been introduced in 2012 - not in 2011.

When someone uses "Vanilla" as a description in this context, they are describing the original "Plain," or "Basic" AutoCAD. This is common among many users of "Verticals" like Map, Civil 3D, etc. this is very common in English. Pun intended.
"How we think determines what we do, and what we do determines what we get."

Yep, I always see it as "Vanilla ... like in ice-cream". I.e. the plain without frills.

Except that, with ice-cream, Vanilla is not plain, it's vanilla flavored.  :-P

Sorry, just reread the OP and the link. You're referring to Lengthen's Dynamic adjust - i.e. select then click new distance point. The other options seem to work on PL's, not the dynamic one.
