Good day;
~ using Illustrator 5
~ importing technical drawings from CAD (think, complex mining shafts / exploded drawings and the like...)
~ want to manipulate imagery in Illustrator
~ all drawings are importing as individual lines / shape....a simple rectangle is four separate lines
~ is there an efficient way to "OPEN' or to "IMPORT" these complex drawings and have the CAD lines unite as closed shapes?!
~ isolating each shape / selecting nodes / 'joining' / is just NOT the best way to kill my day
~ willing to download solid recommended plug-ins
S.O.S.!!
Thank you in advance,
Laura
