ISO autoadjust of some sort so I can join polylines or splines w tiny gaps

So sometimes at work we get client DWG files that were computer generated and need to be cleaned up before use.   Not uncommonly, instead of a nice fluid spline or polyline, the drawings are made up of a ton of tiny segments that don't quite meet each other so the join command doesn't work.

 

It's a pain to try to modify the drawings with hundreds of tiny lines and it takes forever to join them all.

Is there any option or command or lsp program that would autoadjust the positioning of the line/spline segments so that they meet end to end so that the join command will work?

(the gap between them is so small it wouldn't make a difference which segment got moved in terms of the drawing appearance)

 

Thanks  🙂

Hi @jetted4 

Would it be possible to upload the your 3D-solid that you made from the imported STP?

I am sorry but I am not able to post it (it's still under design...).

I tried increasing my tolerance to .005 as you had set (instead of the .0005 I originally used) and used ANSI31 but I am still getting bleed. But I can't set the tolerance that high since the distance between lines in my drawings is often not any greater than 0.005.

 

Thanks ,though.  🙂

I will give it a try...would love to have a fuzz distance for joining splines (... Autocad 2021?)  but if this will highlight my gaps, then I can at least fix them much more quickly.

 

Thanks  🙂

I got the hatch to appear, you didn't. What does that tell you about the way you are hatching?

 

And why is your flatshot in pieces? Why not a continuous polyline? Take a screenshot of your flatshot settings (before you click 'create' flatshot) and upload it.
