aekorps Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Why is there no simple way (Command-J on Mac) to join two vertices from two separate paths? I'm not sure HOW to join them. This is incredibly simple in Illustrator to do. Also a bit strange that Command-J would be assigned to Duplicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdenby Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Its pretty simple. Select the curves. Switch to the node tool, letter a, then click the join curves button which is in the tool context bar. In AD, while duplicate does make a copy, it is the command that starts the power duplicate procedure, which duplicates not only the object, but how it is then moved and/or scaled.

PixelPest Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 You can select with the node tool - no switching needed BTW. Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Works here: Cheers P. The marquee selection of the right-hand pair of nodes in your 'JoinPath' GIF is redundant. The 'Join curves' command always joins the nearest end nodes of the selected curves.

Alfred Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Perhaps I should have said, "Selection of a pair of nodes by any means (marquee or clicking) is redundant, so you might as well not bother performing that step. Simply select the curves, and the 'Join curves' command will join the nearest end nodes."

R C-R Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Also a bit strange that Command-J would be assigned to Duplicate. It is the same assignment as in Photoshop. Both apps also use CMD+D for deselect.

Just for clarity (many years after the fact), this is discussing the Illustrator-equivalent, Affinity Designer. Illustrator uses CMD-SHIFT-A for deselect. CMD-J for join.
