How can I close this loop?

When using the hatch tool to make a new hatch or hatch by segments how do I solve a loop not closed error ?
Is there some kinda of macro I can write to merge all points in a selection that are less than 1000th of an inch or some distance from each-other?
Thanks in advance!

The Hatch tool is "confused" because the shape has double lines. Remove those duplicates (2) with "Detect Duplicates" tool and try the Hatch tool again.
Also is a Zero length entity in that drawing which should be removed ....

Thanks Husky, I forgot to check for those Zero length entities, however duplicates are not being found:
(Perhaps I deleted them already in all my futzing around.)
Code: Select all
Command: reset
Command: zerolength
Zero-length entities found: 1
Zero-length entities found: 1
Zero-length entities found: 1
Zero-length entities deleted: 1
Command: duplicates
No duplicate entities have been found.
Command: hatchmenu
Command: hatch
Loop not closed at point 504/270.
How do I find point 504/270? Everything in my drawing is in inches.
Thanks!

Nope - there are still present. Please make sure Ignore Layer and Ignore Direction is checked and don't forget to delete them. Same with zero length ...

If you launch the Hatch tool a little smal blue circle will pop up at the first gap. However - you don't get the "Loop not closed" warning when the zero length and line duplicates are removed.

Thank you so much got it now!!
Given the dimensions 1/2" = 1FT what would be the best scale?
The steel pattern seems to be either too big or too small around .16
WOOPS EDIT thats 1/8" = 1FT
