How to connect small lines gaps?

hi, 

is there any method to extend and connect all small (let's say smaller than 10cm) line gaps, lines' tip should extend or add line patch extention towards to another line and close the gap? 

 

(i don't want to adjust one by one, it is about whole lines to close small gaps in order to appropriate fill with magic wand tool)

You're looking for the Adjust command, under Edit > Reshape > Adjust, also under the toolbar named "standard", or the shortcut ctrl- (ctrl minus) or Mac cmd-

 

You select ALL of the lines that you want to adjust/connect first (drag arrow selection box, or ctrl-click etc), then issue the adjust command ctrl- and finally click on an existing EDGE (mercedes cursor)...or draw a virtual line to adjust the elements to.

They will adjust to the longest length so if some of them are longer than others you may have undesirable results so make sure the ones you're adjusting aren't half as short as the longest ones you're trying to achieve

I am not so sure the shortcut for Adjust is working in 25.  Moving the mouse over the icon generates the a default pop-up in Windows   Adjust ( Ctrl+- )   It activates the Explode function for me.   ??

And if you are wanting to join line end to end, just select and use the 'intersect' tool.
