Joining curves
You can join curves and line segments to create more complex curves as well as closed objects. The shape of the connecting lines is determined by the mode that you choose: Extend, Chamfer, Fillet, or Bézier Curve.
You can also set the gap tolerance, which is the maximum distance between endpoints that can be joined. If the endpoints are further apart than the gap tolerance, they cannot be joined.
When you join curves, the resulting curve takes on the properties of the last object that was selected.
To join curves
1 . Hold down Shift, and select each object using the Pick tool .
2 . Click Object Join curves.
3 . In the Join curves docker, choose one of the following modes from the list box:
• Extend
• Chamfer
• Fillet
• Bézier curve
4 . Click Apply.
If the curves are not joined, you must increase the gap tolerance.
Adding, removing, and joining nodes
When you add nodes, you increase the number of segments and, therefore, the amount of control you have over the shape of the object. You can delete selected nodes to simplify an object’s shape.
When curve objects contain many nodes, it is difficult to edit and output them to devices such as vinyl cutters, plotters, and rotary engravers. You can have the number of nodes in a curve object reduced automatically. Reducing the number of nodes removes overlapping nodes and can smooth a curve object. This feature is especially useful for reducing the number of nodes in objects imported from other applications.
You can join the start and end nodes of an open path such as a line to create a closed object. This feature is useful for filling an object with color because you can apply fills only to the inside of closed objects. For information about applying fills, see Applying fills to objects.
You can align the nodes of a curve object horizontally or vertically.
To add or delete a node
To
Do the following
Add a node
In the toolbox, click the Shape tool , select a curve object, and double-click where you want to add a node.
Delete a node
In the toolbox, click the Shape tool, select a curve object, and double-click a node.
To reduce the number of nodes in a curve object Back to Top
1 . In the toolbox, click the Shape tool .
2 . Click a curve object, and do one of the following:
• To reduce the number of nodes in the entire object, click the Select all nodes button on the property bar.
• To reduce the number of nodes in a part of a curve object, marquee select the part you want to change.
3 . Do one of the following:
• Click Reduce nodes on the property bar to have overlapping and redundant nodes automatically removed.
• Move the Curve smoothness slider to control the number of nodes that are removed. Removing many nodes can reshape the curve object.
To join the end nodes of a single subpath Back to Top
1 . In the toolbox, click the Shape tool .
2 . Click a subpath.
3 . Click the Close curve button on the property bar.
To join the nodes of multiple subpaths Back to Top
1 . In the toolbox, click the Shape tool .
2 . Hold down Shift, and click a node from each subpath.
3 . Click the Extend curve to close button on the property bar.
