Appreciate the reply. I have been using ADV2 for some time now with no issues. In the past week, I have not been able to Boolean letters. In the past, I would choose a word and convert to curves, manipulate to accommodate design and then Boolean, add. It was perfect. for some reason, I cannot do the same. The curved letters do not merge, add. My ADV2 is up to date and I am completely puzzled. I tried the approach you mentioned with , layer, Geom., Merge but it failed also. The attached pic shows how the HA and last PY where correctly Boolean with the add. The center P will not cooperate as the others. Nothing different was done to the center P. At other times, the P will not Boolean with the Y.
