Just select the lines that you want to be a polyline and go to the Edit menu > Reshape > Unify. The individual line segments are replaced with a polyline.

You can select ALL of the lines. Unify will only turn those touching at their ends into polylines.

you are right but when you press suspend group you can not edit it as single line of sides of rectangle i mean you know when you make rectangle it will be grouped but when you press suspend group it work as single line and you can back again to group that not will be the same case when you press suspend group it still also grouped i need to group the line of rectangles and when i want to edit i can do it how ??

Is there a toggle for this? When I select lines not touching any others they become polylines too.

Ahmed - Grouped lines are different to Polylines, but can be manipulated the same way. You can select a group of lines (eg. a rectangle) and suspend groups (Opt-G on Mac, ALT-G on PC) and then edit them using the pet palette in the same way as polylines, all affected lines will stretch.
