That is an argument for another day.

I’ll send this one to the devs. If you have any other examples of it not working as expected, that would be great!

I believe this sometimes happens with vectors from traced images, Lightburn as other ways to close the shape and with the easy Trim Tools method we obtain a “pure” closed shape.
Thanks.

The problem with your example here (the star) is that it’s not a single shape with a hole in it, but two different shapes, and the ends don’t line up:
I’ve moved them apart a little bit to make it more obvious - look at the lower right corner:
So “close” will not work because that only works on a single shape with a gap in it. Auto-Join would work if that lower corner wasn’t busted and weirdly misaligned. The upper-right corner is also misaligned, as shown here:
What we need is an “Auto-Join with tolerance” that would allow for more imprecision than the current auto-join. That’s planned, but hasn’t been done yet.

I know thanks, it was just a vector taken from an image to illustrate how “difficult” it is to get good results with the join functions and with Trim Shapes it is undoubtedly much easier. It happens quite often when you trace an image. With trim tool we can have a pure shape.
Thanks again for the Trim Shapes tool and the way it works.
