Joining multiple lines simultaneously?

[archdaly]

Is there still no way to do this? Currently I'm only aware that using the connect line tool requires you to click on each individual line to connect to either a perpendicular or parallel line. 

 

Also, has there been any discussion about a tool that automatically creates a line from multiple facets? Like a "compose" tool but on a greater scale?

Do you know about the Select Connected Objects command? Running that command and then the Compose command generally fits the bill.

oh that works quite well to joining a bunch of connected facets into a single line! Thank you!  

 

Any thoughts on my other request? 

[markdd]

Not sure what else you want it to do?

[archdaly]

I want to simultaneously connect multiple lines that aren't already connected. Say I have a casing profile that got dissected by an object that got deleted leaving me with lines that have a section missing... (see attached screenshot). To my knowledge, the connect lines tool still requires you to click on each individual line to bridge the gap.

Here's a scenario that I ran into yesterday where I similarly wished there was some tool that could connect everything for me quickly:

 

 

 

I had to Connect/Combine each pair of segments.

 

Not sure if this is the type of situation you were envisioning or not..

Similar, yes! It's very tedious especially when redrawing hundreds of lines and geometries is an equal if not lesser effort.
