Randal, <br>
Thanks for getting back, tries it, but wont work. I might take
another approach though, Split them up by attributes polygonize them
and then merge them again into one...looks like its my only option
at the moment!<br>
Regards,<br>

Open it and search for Lines to Polygons and try that tool. It
should convert your lines to polygons. The kicker is I don't
*think* that will preserve attributes. So - you're halfway there
*maybe*.

I meant to change the subject, but forgot!! So here it is, with
a correct subject!

I need a little help, I have being trying to create an Index for
a series of CAD drawings, they each have a extent bounding box,
but its broken into individual lines.
<br>
<br>
I have so far succeeded in creating a shapefile for all of them,
but my problem is that what I have is several thousand open
polylines instead of box's. each polyline starts and ends in the
same point, but I need them to form polygons.
<br>
The other thing is that the attribute data be preserved.
<br>
Any help appreciated.

Richard.
