<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">I would just draw a line between the two segments. Use snap so that the new line connects exactly to the two existing lines. And then use the "Merge Selected Features" to merge the three features into one. But maybe you're are looking for a way to automate this process, which is beyond my knowledge.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>Rich</div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Feb 13, 2026 at 10:29 AM ERT - Mike Breiding <<a href="mailto:epicroadtrips@gmail.com">epicroadtrips@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

I am still looking for help on connecting two lines.<br>
The line is a stream that is "interrupted" by a backwater.<br>

that are two separate records and you merge them you'll now
have just one record for that feature. Maybe you have a
highway with two separated lanes and you want to both lanes
show as separate lines but in the data you only want one
record, then you would use the "Merge Selected Features" tool.</font>

I am trying to merge/connect two lines.<br>
When I select the lines, I choose the Merge tool and

But, the lines do not connect.<br>
