Clean Polyline April 20, 2008

 I stuck in front of my PC today to find a solution for a simple task.

The question, I believe, is very common for those who digitise everyday or work with  line feature datasets.  In the  figure below, I have a polyline feature dataset  in my ArcGIS 9.1 using a simple arcview license.

 

 

Gap

 

This feature dataset has been digitised very badly and, as can be seen , there are gaps of 1 up to 10 meters between the segments. Therefore, I want to snap the end points of the segments in order to slightly reshape the lines. So, I will  be able to solve the “connectivity” of the feature dataset without using the topology rules and effectively all the segments will be connected.

The only solution to my question so far is to use the ET Geowizard tools Clean Dangling nodes.

But, is this the only one?
