Combining path objects

You can combine path objects into a single path object.

To create one continuous path from two open paths:

1	Choose the Subselection tool.
2	Select two endpoints on two open paths.
3	Choose Modify > Join.

To create a composite path:

1	Select two or more open or closed paths.
2	Choose Modify > Join.

To break apart a composite path:

1	Select a composite path:
2	Choose Modify > Split.

To combine closed paths into one path enclosing the entire area of the original paths:

Choose Modify > Combine > Union.

The resulting path assumes the stroke and fill attributes of the back object.

You can create an object from the intersection of two or more objects.

To create a closed path that encloses the area common to all selected closed paths:

Choose Modify > Combine > Intersect.

The resulting path assumes the stroke and fill attributes of the back path object.
