Automatically joining open shapes

Use the Join Open Shapes tool to connect open shapes. All open segments inside the marquee
rectangle are joined to their nearest open segment. Review the information on the Join Open
Shapes Tool Property Bar to understand the various ways to join open points and segments.

Click the Join Open Shapes Tool to view the property bar.
Only one of the following three tools can be on at any time.
Join with a Line – when this button is turned on, then segments are joined with a line.
The default is on.
Join with a Curve – when this button is turned on, then segments are joined with a
curve.
Join at Mid Point – when this button is turned on, then join is achieved by moving
segment end points onto the middle point.
Unconditional Join button – when this button is turned on, then all open segments
inside the marquee rectangle are joined to the closest open segment. The Maximum Join
Distance edit box is used in conjunction with the Unconditional Join button. Enter a
distance value in Maximum Join Distance that defines how far apart segments can be
separated and still join.
If the Unconditional Join button is turned on and nothing is
within the Maximum Join Distance, but there are open segments
within the marquee rectangle, then the user is presented with
the Retry Join dialog box.
