Help with a problem?

Is there any way to join the sometimes thousands of little line segments that come across in a DXF translation of an object from another CAD package? (Unigraphics)
It would be better if I didn't have to first translate the U.G. file into CGM format, open a new drawing in U.G. and import the CGM file, then translate that into DXF for R14, but that is how I have to do it.
The CGM format is what really breaks things up. Even simple line segments can be arbitrarily broken into sometimes dozens of little pieces, but the CGM procedure is unavoidable.
Are there any tools available for making contiguous lines from these line segments ?
Thanks, Hammy

Try "pedit":
1. Select one line, accept conversion into a polyline 2. Select connecting lines in a join operation

I don't remember is R14 has the "multiple" option in PEDIT or not, but in 2ki it usually works rather well for me. There used to be a lsp package called VECTOR which worked in R12.
