        Thank you for your answer.
        Sorry, but... I don't see any ExtendTool folder and ExtendTool.rb in your plugin folder...
        Can you try to download it again and to unzip it directly into plugins folder, please?

          Majid, the plugin isn't in there. Where did you put it?

          Try downloading and installing again.

            yes I see šŸ¤£ , when it didn't worked for me , I deleted it ... šŸ˜„, then I thought that maybe other plugins interfer it , so i shared the plugins folder picture..
            also all lines are coplanar , and i repaired the inserted cad file by hand (149 trim extend needed ... šŸ˜„ as the autocad is going to be more fuzzy!!!!)
            ok ... I am thinking that if we could have a better (smarter) cad import plugin? bkz when we import cad files , then su convertes circle to 24 sided su native cirles , and then there would be a gap between the circle and rest of the model... so maybe we could resolve this with a ruby cad importer!!! ā“ šŸ’­

              majid,
              this plugin cannot do what you describe... Perhaps try ExtendCloseLines?

                  Matt,

                  It works well when I have a face selected, however when I select a coplanar edge to extend to, I get a "no limit found" error in the ruby console. Any ideas?

                    Hi Matt:

                    Works well for me. I like the simple UI.

                    Could a similar script be developed to extend (move) a vertex (which may or may not be part of a face)?

                    How it might work: initiate script, pick (click) on the anchoring endpoint or guidepoint, then click on the vertex you want to move. It would basically be the same as manually doing a move-and-drag or alt-move-and-drag function, but inferencing to anything other than end-point or guide-points would be blocked.

                    This would be helpful when trying to move a vertex a very small distance in an area with lots of geometry.

                      EarthMover,
                      Thank you for testing it!
                      Can you post tested file, please? Can you show me "limit" lines or faces, and desired edges to extend?
                      I have no problem here. Oh yes I had a problem, but I corrected the plugin. Update will come soon.

                      JClements,
                      Thank you for the comment!
                      I will "investigate" to find if I can do this plugin... For the moment I think it's out of my ruby level! šŸ˜†

                        Hey Matt, great plugin, thanks! I've just started a new project and I am putting this to good use. Thanks! Also, I edited my copy to make it so that holding shift will delete the geometry instead of extending it. I have lots of lines that are just a little too long. So instead of extending them, I want to "trim" them, like in autocad. So that little tiny bit of functionality is very helpful.

                        So a HUGE thanks, this is quite useful,

                              I had difficulty with the plugin.
                              In the drop down menu I see Selection with a fly out trigger that doesn't fly out to show Extend Edges. I posted in Thomthom's thread on Selection Toys, thinking that Selection was part of his suite. I will try to unload and reload to see if it works better.
                              I have a mild concern that other recently downloaded tools may be interfering--not sure.
                              Best Regards,

                                        Hi, Matt:
                                        Is this block of code intended as a disambiguation, or differentiation of the two Selection tools? Or was it intended as way to allow coexistence?

                                        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                                          The plugin doesn't work when edit a group, you need to explode the group extend and regroup...

                                            Yes, it does work when editing a group. There is no need to explode the group first.
