AutoCAD Tip -- Fix Gaps and Off-Angled Lines with AutoConstrain (Lynn Allen/Cadalyst Magazine)

We've all worked with drawing files that included some unwanted gaps, or perhaps some lines that weren't quite vertical or horizontal, even though they were supposed to be. Join Lynn Allen as she shares this means of cleaning up your drawings with AutoConstrain. You'll be certain to save lots of editing time - and who doesn't want that?

This is wonderful tool for fixing less than perfect drawings. Now, how many drawings can I fix and were do I stop.

THANKS!! I have always been a big user of osnap and have always been at a loss for why I end up with open profiles!! I stumbled on your vid. I was looking for how to take the inteligence out of lines and arcs from AI.

Hi... I have a question about Gaps. I have successfully converting Lines to PL. And when Print it as PDF to be use in Corel. Line become broken. Later, I apply the Auto-constrained that you show here.... it seems to fix/adjust my PL which I thought then would solve the problem. But it didn't... once save as PDF and import into Corel Draw, someone lines become broken especially around the arcs. I tried to just property of my PDF to highest possible DPI but still, the line broken once it's imported to Corel Draw. Do you know a way to save AutoCad Draw to be successful import into Corel Draw without any gaps?

[@naftamozga]

you are so wonderful and funny

[@mypavilion5823]

THANKS

[@spb2412]

Nice tip. But it looks to me like once you run the constraints and it "fixes" the drawing, those lines are locked in that position. Doesn't look like from that point on you can edit the lines, maybe I am overlooking something. Still great tip.
