1. Start the command by clicking Tools>Modify>Stretch.
2. You will be prompted to Select the Entities. These are the Polyline(s) to stretch.
3. Next you will be prompted for the first corner of a window select. This window is for other entities to be moved. If no other entities are to be moved, then reselect the Polyline(s).
4.Select the Other Corner.
5.You are then prompted for the first Move Point. You can either type the coordinate or pick it from the drawing.
6.Finally, select or type the coordinate. Right-click or <Enter> to finish.
