Joining line segments

[charlie72]

I’m trying to workout if the FUZZ distance within the PEDIT command can be used to join lines that may not connect exactly. For example if there are some breaks in the lines which might not be visible when viewed. On the help command it states;

Joined Polyline Segments

You can join a line, an arc, or another polyline to an open polyline if their ends connect or are close to each other. If the ends are not coincident but are within a distance that you can set, called the fuzz distance, the ends are joined by either trimming them, extending them, or connecting them with a new segment.

However I havn’t had much success joining lines to continuous polylines therefore and advice please or tutorials on using fuzz on the pedit command.

Maybe this will help.

Just tried it here and it works fine... Are you doing these same steps?

 

Command: ._PEDIT

Select polyline or [Multiple]: _M

Select objects: 1 found (this is the polyline)

Select objects: 1 found, 2 total (this is a line)

Select objects: 1 found, 3 total (this is a line)

Select objects:

Convert Lines, Arcs and Splines to polylines [Yes/No]? _Y

Enter an option [Close/Open/Join/Width/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype

gen/Reverse/Undo]: _J

Join Type = Extend

Enter fuzz distance or [Jointype] : Specify second point: (picked two points to specify the fuzz dist)

2 segments added to polyline

Enter an option [Close/Open/Join/Width/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype

gen/Reverse/Undo]:

Command:

I've got it working. I can't be sure what i was doing wrong, but i think i was selecting the Fuzz distance on screen and then not returning after. I also selected the both option and that seem to work better also. I almost gave up trying to sort this command as I knew it would come in very useful.

 

Thank you
