Welcome to our latest tutorial series on AutoCAD! Today, we'll walk you through an example that demonstrates how to use the Extinct Tool. This powerful tool allows you to easily extend lines within your drawings.

Why Use the Extinct Tool?

• Saves time compared to manual extension methods
• Efficiently handles multiple extensions in a single operation

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 
   Access the Modify Panel
   In your AutoCAD interface, navigate to the Modify panel.
   
2. 
   Select the Extinct Tool
   Click on the Extinct Tool within the Modify panel.
   
3. 
   Activate the Command Line
   At the command line, you'll see the prompt Select objects. Press Enter.
   
4. 
   Define the Extension Boundary
   Using your cursor, hover over the line to be extended. The line should begin to extend up to the first defined boundary. If it does not reach the desired location, continue to the next step.
   
5. 
   Extend the Line
   Click on the line segment once, then a second time. Continue clicking as needed until you reach the final boundary.
   If you've reached your desired endpoint, press Enter or Escape to exit the tool.
   
6. 
   Use the Boundary Option (Optional)

7. Type EXTEND at the command line
8. Select the boundary up to which you want the line extended
9. Click on the new endpoint of the line segment
10. Press Enter to finish the extension
