How do you join two paths? Describe an example where you would need to join two paths.

What will be an ideal response?


You join two paths by selecting two open anchor points and then applying the Join command. The Join command is found on the Object/Path menu or you can use the quick key [Ctrl][J] (Win) or [Command key][J] (Mac). If the two anchor points are positioned in the same location, the Join command will unite them as one point. If the two points are not in the same location, the Join command will draw a straight path between them to join them. The Join command often plays a role when you are using the "draw/flip" technique. With this technique, you draw only half of an object. For example, let's say you are drawing a peppermill. Rather than draw the whole object, simply draw the left half of the object. Then, create a reflected copy and join the two paths with the Join command.
