Randal,
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!
Regards,

Richard.

First thought - take a look at the processing toolbox. 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*.

Apologies,
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.

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.
The other thing is that the attribute data be preserved.
Any help appreciated.
Regards,

Richard.
