Pedit

[bjenk8100]

Hey,

 

This isnt so much of a problem as an annoyance. When I try to make poly lines from connected single lines my procedure is as follows...

 

pedit, right click, multiple, select lines/objects, enter, yes, join x 3, esc

 

My annoyance is if i hit join once it will not make the lines into polylines, if i hit join 3 times or so and then esc it will.

 

It just doesnt seem that is right and I think i might be missing something. I have been doing pedit this way for a long time adn its probably finally time to figure this one out. Any help would be great

What is on the command line after you select join the first time?

This is my command line:

 

Command: pe PEDIT Select polyline or [Multiple]: m
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 5 found

Select objects:

Enter an option [Close/Open/Join/Width/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Undo]: j
Join Type = Extend
Enter fuzz distance or [Jointype] <0.00>:

4 segments added to polyline

Enter an option [Close/Open/Join/Width/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype gen/Undo]:

You showed yours, now I will show mine.

 

Command: pedit
Select polyline or [Multiple]: m

Select objects: all
336 found
88 were not in current space.

Select objects:

Enter an option [Close/Open/Join/Width/Fit/Spline/Decurve/Ltype 
gen/Reverse/Undo]: j

Join Type = Extend
Enter fuzz distance or [Jointype] <0'-0">:

71 segments added to 11 polylines

Well, in all honesty, I'm lazy, so I use the following:

 

(defun c:MJ (/ ss)
 ;; Join multiple Arcs/Lines/LWPolylines
 ;; Alan J. Thompson
 (if (setq ss (ssget "_:L" '((0 . "ARC,LINE,LWPOLYLINE"))))
   (if (eq (getvar 'peditaccept) 1)
     (command "_.pedit" "_m" ss "" "_j" "" "")
     (command "_.pedit" "_m" ss "" "_y" "_j" "" "")
   )
 )
 (princ)
)

what is fuzz distance?

[Jack_O'neill]

Fuzz is the distance (which you can set) at which the endpoints of your lines or plines will be joined. For instance if you set fuzz at .062, any segments at that distance or less will be joined. Greater than that will be ignored.
