Hello, Sorry for what seems like a repeat post, but i have read through countless others and I either cant see the wood for the trees or im just lost.
i have an arrow head image that will not auto join, weld or the likes together, I have grouped and ungrouped, zoomed in and matched lines over the top of each other, converted to path and selected auto join numerous times.
Iām still learning with the software and was used to RD Works where there was a button to join nodes, im surprised light burn doesnāt have this feature?
I have drew on the breaks with a red line to show where it isnāt joining, and also shown the direction the lines are moving, if this helps
In the node edit mode you have selected, if you know where the break points are located, drag one of them away, then back again to snap. This will join those two points. You can test it by grabbing the alleged joined node and moving. If both line segments move, itās joined. You can then return it to the original location with precision by using Undo / Control-z
Iāve run into peculiar conditions in which I was unable to perform a joining in the described manner. I would later discover that I had overlapping lines or in one case, two nodes, one atop the other. Grouping isnāt a factor in this case, as best as I can tell, but itās also a consideration.
If you care to attach your file, Iād be happy to examine it.
i tried what you said but still no luck, i have isolated the file so its just the broken part in question if you can help and explain where i went wrong i would very much appreciate it.Faulty arrow.lbrn (13.4 KB)
Select everything, break apart and auto-join - done.
But, on the high side is a gap that is too big to be auti joined, it has to be assembled manually.
I have the same problem regularly. Iāve found that if you use āClose Selected Paths With Toleranceā, that when you get to some large value (60-ish mm) suddenly the problem nodes will snap to where they think they belong, which is to nodes nowhere near the one youāve been carefully zooming and snapping to. At least then you have an idea of which nodes to try playing with (usually NOT the ones youāve been trying to join).
Iām happy to read about the outline trick - Iāll certainly be using it!!
