Software HELP Connecting broken line segments

Post by Pebley Ironworks »

Hello! Looking for some help.... I'm using Torchmate software.
I purchased a file off of etsy, I have done this before and I get the same issue. So I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong?
I bring the DXF in and there are so many disconnected paths/lines.
I've tried "connect path" as a whole and also item by item, selecting each line and then "connect path". But I do all that work and it doesn't stick.
The only way I've found that works is to edit/show the nodes on each line, and connect the path one by one. It takes so much time! There has to be a better way or something I'm missing when importing?
I have attached a couple photos so you can hopefully see what I'm talking about

Thank you for any advice!

Thanks Rokcrler! The problem with the ones you linked to is that they are cut paths with extra lead-ins and gaps at end of loops. These could be edited to produce good files, and maybe not has much work as all the editing the OP had to do to his Etsy file.
