    Look at the newer options in Pedit. Multiple and Fuzz were added there.
    PLJoin is, I believe, no more.

    why is it gone? pljoin was such a great command, but I don't think it's worked since R2000i. using pedit requires more keyboard entries as opposed pljoin using a shortcut key assigned to the command followed by a quick crossing window and a thumbsnap to the spacebar to sum things up... three moves and bam, you were done. using pedit requires around eight entries to complete the same operation.

    I ended up stealing the lisp files required from an Express tools and it works great.
    There shouldn't be a problem doing that correct?

    You can use the new join command to join Polylines that are connected at each other's end points. It doesn't work with lines, though; but if you have one polyline with other types of objects connected to it, lines or arcs, you can pick the polyline first and then the rest of the objects.
