In the window, select at least two line-type elements you wish to include in the Linework Consolidation process. Line-type elements are straight-lines, polylines, arcs and circles.
Note: Linework Consolidation does not affect any line-type element having an arrowhead.
The Linework Consolidation command (Edit > Reshape > Linework Consolidation) brings up the Linework Consolidation Wizard.
This command is also available from the Edit Elements toolbar.
Now page through the wizard (click “Next” at the bottom of every screen) and check the boxes of every Line Consolidation option that you wish to execute as part of the consolidation process.
For details, see Linework Consolidation Settings.
On the last screen, click “Consolidate” to execute Linework Consolidation.
Following the linework consolidation, a report appears, listing the number of elements (if any) that have been deleted or merged for each type of line consolidation.
At the bottom of this page, a checkbox gives you the option of using the simplified Linework Consolidations Settings (rather than the Wizard) the next time you issue the command.
Linework Consolidation Settings contains the same options as the Wizard, but all options are accessible in a single dialog box.
