how to join lines

[faizaan]

I usually use hatch boundary option to to create boundary around the hatch area but some times it wont joint all the lines as a single closed line so i want a shortcut where i select all the lines and it automatically joins the lines.

Have you tried the JOIN command? It will connect all the selected lines/polylines, if it can. Whether the resulting polyline is closed depends on the topology. As far as I know, there is no command to automatically close gaps because there are too many variables.

 

Another reason polylines won't close is elevation differences. Make sure all your objects are at elevation 0 (or whatever you're using).

I use 2D drawing and i also used join command but some lines are not joining is there any alternate command.

Can you post an example of a hatch that won't give you a closed boundary? Is it feasible to subdivide these hatches so that you can get a closed boundary?

Try using the FILLET (Command) with radius of 0 to join the ends.

Set the HPGAPTOL (System Variable) to something higher than the gaps between endpoints of the line.

 

If a selected hatch doesn't display an area in properties then it has an irregular boundary like a spline that cannot be represented as a polyline.

 

Attaching an example drawing we can open is the only way we can give you the answer you're looking for.

When i use hatch boundary option to create boundary around a hatch area some are closed and some are not closed even after i use join command it wont join easily i will prepare a drawing and send you soon for your reference .

Yes you are right some of the areas are uneven shape il send a file for better understanding

Biggest issue I ever have is elevations, even though 90% of my work is 2D it still happens most often via other users who like to draw at an elevation +/- 51328 (or something huge) or +/-0.015 (something really small).

 

Could try the flatten command.

 

Another problem is where the edges overlap by a small amount but flatten or chamfer should get that
