Tips for closing open contours in a sketch?
(OP)
Does anyone have a quick way of closing a lot of open contours in a sketch. Basically what's happening is, I have a lot of parts in autocad which I'm making into 3d models in SW. The parts are pulley's so what I do is bring a cross section of the pulley into SW then revolve the sketch to create the solid. But the sketch I paste in from Autocad is a lot of small line segments which aren't all connected. Currently I go around to each line segment in SW and close the is up by merging the points. This takes a while to do if there are a lot of line segments. Does anyone know a quicker way?

How much time have/will you spend merging sketch segments?

It is usually quicker and safer (more accurate) to redraw the profile, rather than try and fix it.
