Straighten Previous Conduit or Cable Tray

The Straighten Previous Conduit or Cable Tray command is used to make conduit or cable tray centerlines straight relative to other connected centerlines.

The centerline you select will be treated as straight by the command. All of the centerlines that point to the selected centerline will be made parallel, perpendicular, or at a 45-degree angle to the selected centerline, based upon their previous angles.

Any centerlines connected to the centerlines that are straightened will have their ending points moved to stay connected. Their starting points will not be moved, which can result in centerlines that are no longer straight. Continue using the Straighten Previous Conduit or Cable Tray command until all of the centerlines are straight.
