Align Edges
Feature Description
The Align Edges tool is used to bridge edges that share two topological nodes, quickly patching the gaps between two objects to achieve seamless boundary alignment.
Function Entry
- Edit Data Tab ->Object Editing Group->Topology Editing Drop-down Menu ->Align Edges.
Operation Steps
- Enable editing status for relevant layers in the Layer Manager, then in the Edit Data Tab ->Object Editing Group->Topology Editing Drop-down Menu, turn on Topology Edit Switches. After enabling, the topology map will be overlaid on the map.
- In the Edit Data Tab ->Object Editing Group->Topology Editing Drop-down Menu, click the Align Edges button.
- Move the mouse over the map; a prompt will appear: "Solid line indicates the edge to be modified." Click on the solid line portion, and the edge will align to the dashed edge.
- Hover the mouse over the edge you want to edit; the edge to be edited will be highlighted as a solid line.
- Click the edge highlighted as a solid line; the edge will automatically align to the edge highlighted as a dashed line.

Notes:- Supports setting the topology edit tolerance. The tolerance refers to the distance between object nodes; within this distance range, edges and nodes are considered coincident and share the same position.
- By default, the system automatically calculates the minimum tolerance value based on the data. In general, it is recommended to use the default value.
- If modification is needed, click the Tolerance Settings button to manually modify the value in the pop-up Topology Edit Tolerance dialog. After modification, click the Reset button next to the input box to revert to the default value.
