Hello all! It's been a while since I've posted but I'm looking for a way to convert multiple single line segments (drawn to represent a circle) into an actual single circle. I've attached a dwg file showing what I'm working with. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks in advance for any help.

My first reaction would be to do it manually by drawing a circle with the option Three points (3P) using the osnap Endpoint, and pick any three points roughly at the third points.

This is exactly what I did but then...

 

I can do it globally using Overkill, Pedit, Join and Fit. Works like a charm too.

Indeed that is also a good solution.

 

But I thought you wanted actual circles, and that method gives polylines.

Actual circles was the goal but this will suffice

Something like this.

(defun c:pl-c ( / ss ent k x y)

(setq ss (ssget))

(setq lst '())

(repeat (setq x (sslength ss))
(setq ent (vlax-ename->vla-object  (ssname ss (setq x (1- x)))))
(cond
((= (vla-get-objectname ent) "AcDbLwpolyline")(setq pt (vlax-curve-getstartpoint ent)))
((= (vla-get-objectname ent) "AcDbLine")(setq pt (vlax-get ent 'StartPoint)))
)
(setq lst (cons pt lst))
)

(setq x 0.0 y 0.0)

(repeat (setq K (length lst))
(setq pt (nth (setq k (1- k)) lst))
(setq x (+ (car pt) x))
(setq y (+ (cadr pt) y))
)

(setq pt (list (/ x (length lst))(/ y (length lst))))
(setq rad (distance pt (nth 0 lst)))
(command "circle" pt rad)

(princ)
)
