This command joins lines, arcs and/or polylines together. While
the PEDIT-Join command requires the endpoints to match, Join
Nearest will allow you to join entities whose endpoints do not
exactly meet. You specify the maximum separation distance to join,
along with other options, in the dialog box shown below. Also you
can join many entities at once.
Max Separation to Join: Entities whose endpoints are
spaced apart greater than this value will not be joined. You may
use the pick button to specify this value by picking two points on
the screen.
Max Deflection Angle
(degrees): This option will not join any lines if the angle
between them is greater than this angle in degrees.
Progressive Filters: This option automatically runs Join
Nearest multiple times with greater tolerances starting with tight
tolerances and going up to the specified limits. This method helps
ensure that the best matches get priority.
Connection Method: Determines how to connect the endpoints.
See the illustration below.
Convert Lines and Arcs Into Polylines: When checked,
automatically converts lines and arcs into polylines. If not
checked, lines and arcs are joined but remain separate
entities.
Join Across Intersections: This option applies to cases
where more than two linework endpoints come together such as a Y
intersection. In these cases, there are multiple possible
connections. When this option is on, the program will automatically
choose one of the possible connections. Otherwise, the program will
not connect any of them.
Join Only Identical Widths: When checked, only polylines
with the same width will be joined.
Join Only Identical Layers: When checked, only entities on
the same layer will be joined.
Join Only Identical Colors: When checked, only entities with the
same color will be joined.
Join Only Identical
Linetypes: When checked, only polylines with the same linetype will
be joined.
Join Only Common Elevations: When checked, only endpoints
located on the same elevation will be joined.
Different Layer Prompt: When Join Only Identical Layers is
off, then this option will prompt for which layer to use when it
finds a connection between two different layer names.
Different Elevation Prompt: When Join Only Common Elevations
is off, then this option will prompt for which elevation to use
when it finds a connection between two different elevations.
Elevate Zero Elevations When Joined To Elevated: This option
applies when joining a combination of linework at elevation and
linework at zero elevation. When checked, zero elevation vertices
will get assigned the elevations from connected neighboring
vertices.
Show Options on Startup: Controls whether to show the options
dialog at the start of the command. When this option is turned off,
you can type O for Options at the command line to bring up the
