arcgis desktop - Tool or process to automatically snap endpoints of polylines within given proximity using ArcMap?


I created a network of polylines that were all supposed to be connected.


However, I just realized that many of the endpoints of the lines aren't connected, but are very close.



I think there should be a tool to snap the endpoints of the polylines if they are very close to each other, but I can't seem to find it.


Does anyone know an easy way to do this?



Answer



The direction of the answer would depend on the license level of your ArcMap. ArcInfo does have this capability built in. Even Editor has some tools to accomplish this task. However with ArcView level you would need to depend on other tools to do this. Not sure if it has changed in 10. I have ArcMap editor 10 and the snap command



Summary


Moves points or vertices to coincide exactly with the vertices, edges, or end points of other features. Snapping rules can be specified to control whether the input vertices are snapped to the nearest vertex, edge, or endpoint within a specified distance.



is what I would use. If you need other tools I think there are some free tools in et-geotools that will do it.
