Better join segments tool
There are instances (mostly when cleaning up DXF files from 3D models) were there are a lot of broken line segments. It would be great if there were options for the join command to join multiple line segments that are within a certain distance and tangent angle to each other. It would then take multiple separate line segments and join them into one clean and continuous line.
Maybe there would also be a preview ability that would recolor\highlight the lines that would be joined and then allow you to adjust the distance and angle until you get the desired result.
This would save a lot of time from having to go through and manually select multiple line segments and then joining them.
Attached is a an example of where this would be useful and how it would work.

Meanwhile, there are several great plugins to deal with these:
1. VectorFirstAid by AstuteGraphics
2. Concatenate/Assimilate by Rick Johnson’s Graffix -

Adobe, look at 3DSMax's "Vertice Weld" function. Select all vertice that need joining, open the Weld dialog, set a distance, and all selected open vertice in a vicinity under the specified distance will be joined. How hard could this be to code?
