Hi,

I am new to AutoCAD so please forgive my ignorance if any shown!

I have a small problem, i have a CAD file which is made up of hundreds of small areas/zones, all these areas should be joined together (as seperate polygons), but so there is no gaps etc... between these areas/zones. The problem is that i need to be able to perfectly match all the nodes to each other on bordering areas/zones, so between any of the bordering areas/zones there is no gaps what so ever as right now, even though look initially like they match, once you zoom in, they are not perfectly matched, and so our statistics cannot be run.

Is it possible in CAD to run something to automatically match nodes on bordering zones, or would i have to do it manually which could take me months!!!

Thanks very much in advance.

Matt

The way I would do it would be using the ALIGN command. It could equally take months, depending on the number of "areas" or regions you have to deal with. Also, I recommend using the Object Snap option, which automatically selects nodes, line ends, centers, what not. It´s all in there when you press F1 once in a while. Naturally, there are a million ways to do a million things in AutoCAD... I guess that´s why I like it.

Matt,

sorry but i have no direct solution for you. Of course it is possible to write a lisp for doing this.
But i can make you the following offert: if you have to do this in one drawing, you can send me this and i can do the work, using the AutoCAD application "rmMAP", for free. (If you have to do it in more drawings, i can send you an offert for doing it in the following after having seen the first one).

I'll send you a private message with my email adresse

Now THAT´S a solution for a CAD problem! Thanks for guys like Bob. Thanks for guys getting together helping each other out. You should tell us how it all went down.

Try the "fillet" command.
I think you can do a multiple fillets with the (F)ence command. :?:

This should work provided your polygons are not actual polygons. (Exploded)



Another route (option) would to use "BPOLY".
I think you can do a multiple BPOLYs with the (F)ence command, as well. :?: Not sure about that one. :roll:



Sorry in advance if the above don't meet your needs.

Later guy.
