Extend

You can use this feature with a single geometric entity, or many at a time, you can also select a path. A dialog will be displayed asking you to enter a distance to extend by, and once you click OK all of the selected entities will be extended by the specified distance.

If you untick the Show this prompt on Extend check box then you will need to change the distance parameter via the User Options dialog, Geometry tab.

If you select a path that is made up of arcs and line segments, then the last entity in the chain will be extended. If this is an arc, then the sweep will be made longer.
