Merge Points Tool

What it Does

Joins two points into one. Every line and curve that was attached to either point is now attached to the merged point.

Use this when two points that should be the same spot were made separately.

You choose which point to keep and which point to merge into it. A line or curve that ran between the two points is deleted, because it would have no length.

How to Use

1. Activate the tool by selecting the Merge Points icon
2. Select the point to keep, then select Continue. It turns blue
3. Select the point to merge into it, then select Continue. It turns red
4. Select where the merged point should end up, then select Continue:
   • Merge at Blue Point puts it at the blue point
   • Merge at Red Point puts it at the red point
   • Merge at Center puts it halfway between the two
5. Enter a name for the merged point. It starts with the name of the kept point
6. Choose a style for the point if you want a different one
7. Select Save to keep the merge, or Cancel to leave without changing anything

warning

After you select Save, the merge cannot be undone. The red point is gone, and its lines and curves now belong to the kept point.

🧠Memorization

When you memorize a draft, the merge is remembered.
