Hello,

I have a parcel (in violet color) created partially from line strings (4 line strings) and partially from COGO line string (1 COGO line string) - see the picture below:

I wanted to transform them to a polygon/polyline using ANZ ToolBox command Convert To Polygon, so I selected them all:

However, when I ran the command by clicking Apply, no polyline was created:

What´s the problem? Why no polyline was created?

Does it not work, when selected line strings created by different methods (CAD line string + COGO line string)?

Thanks in advance for any reaction.

Please read the manual

https://tbcanz.com/docs/Convert_To_Polygon.pdf

You can't just throw some separate line elements on it.

Thanks Ronny,

Of coarse, I consulted the manual, when my first attempt was unsuccessful. Then, I joined the 4 line strings to one line string.

So, I have one line string and 1 COGO line string. Nevertheless, the command does not create the polygon. 

Here are my settings:

What am I doing wrong? 

"The Convert to Polygon command allows the user to convert closed CAD polylines and Linestrings into Polygons. This command will convert horizontal and vertical arc data to straight line segments in the process."

The line you throw at it must already be closed. It can be made up from many segments, but they must be connected into one entity already. The macro is not intended to combine single line entities. 

Thanks again Ronny!

I supposed, when one type of line string ends in one point (CAD line string in my case) and simultaneously

in the same point starts another type of line string (COGO line string in my case) which ends in the starting point of the previous CAD line string,

then the line strings (regardless of their types) are closed lines and hence, they can be converted to a polygon.

Now, it seems that I do not understand correctly what means the term: THE LINE MUST BE CLOSED.

Please - explain how should I understand it.

I can solve my problem manually - I can start CAD command CREATE POLYLINE and manually select step by step all vertex points.

But, it is far better, when some command (like Convert To Polygon) could do it automatically.

Thanks again for your reply!

Hi Ramin,

thanks for your info. However - I have such feeling that we are rotating in a circle.

As I described above and as I understand the term CLOSED line(s), I thing I have closed shape of the parcel

(although it consists of two different line strings - CAD and COGO).

 If not, then I need EXACT definition what means the CLOSED lines.

Attached is ZIP data file - it would be great, when you could have a look into the data 

and inform me what´s wrong with my approach.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Ramin!

I very appreciate your decision to make enhancements and am very exciting to see it and use it as soon as possible.

Best wishes!
