I'm doing some data cleaning and have a heap of lines that should close to form polygons (or holes in polygons) once constructed. To get there, in the past I would use the Line Intersection tool to close the gaps. See example below.
I would simply select the line, then click on the line twice (once each side of the gap) and the third time to confirm the intersection. It appears now that it won't work on self-intersecting lines - only 2 separate features. This isn't ideal as it means I have to split the line first somewhere to then intersect and close the gap.
I thought I could use the Extend or Trim tool instead but found this has the same restriction - only extends to a different feature.
Is it just me or is this a change from how they worked in the past? My colleague believes they used to allow self-intersection as well.
