Close Path
Close Path connects individual shapes with one start and one end point by creating a new line between the points.
Several functions in MillMage require shapes that are closed, meaning they complete a circuit with start and end points that are joined. These functions include pocket and most profile Operations, along with Boolean tools.
Using Close Path¶
If the start and end points of a shape are very close, or on top of each other but not quite connected, use Close Path to connect them.
The start and end nodes of selected paths must be within .5 mm of one another in order for Close Path to connect them. For gaps larger than .5 mm, use Close Selected Paths with Tolerance instead.
Close Path cannot connect fully separate paths, each with their own start and end nodes. If you wish to join many segments of lines and curves togehter into one shape, try Auto-Join Selected Shapes.
You can select and close multiple paths at once, but, in order for a path to be connected by Close Path, it must already be completely connected except for its start and end nodes.
Select all shapes you wish to close, then go to Edit → Close Path.
