  3. If the selected items do not have different attributes the new item containing combined geometry will now be created.
  4. If any of the selected items do have different attributes, the Select item to keep dialog is displayed to prompt you for which item’s attributes you want to keep. When the items are merged, only the attributes belonging to the chosen item are kept.

Note: If you are using the Union command with LineStrings and prefer a final LineString Item rather than a MultiLineString Item, use the Join Linestrings (CAD > Alter) command with an Exact Tolerance value of 0.
