I am having difficulty trying to connect vectors on a eagle file I am working on. Can someone give me some direction on how to get them connected?
Thanks,

You need a set of vectors which describe a closed region.
Working from the outside in, we get:
which needs to be opened up so that it can join with the balance of the other geometry:
Draw in some geometry and use Trim Vectors:
to remove the section which precludes joining with the balance of the geometry:
then delete the added geometry:
Repeat for the inner shape:
OK
delete
Once you have a continuous set of open vectors they may be selected:
and joined:
The balance of the geometry:
requires some additional offset geometry:
which may then be trimmed down to only what is needed:
until one arrives at:
OK
OK
Select the balance of the geometry:
and use Join Vectors to close:
Yes

Hi William,
So it looks like I am making progress but still need additional help. I have attached a screenshot of the eagle along with the .c2d file. I am trying to enclose the bottom two areas (W) to be the same as the top area (W) but cannot get the vectors to close. I would also like the outline of the wings to close so I can create a toolpath for them. Can you help with that?
Thanks,
Kerry

This can pretty much be done w/ the previous file which was made:
just offset to the inside by a suitable distance:
Apply
Then draw in crossing geometry where necessary:
Duplicate the relevant geometries:
Then select what one wishes to work with:
and use Trim Vectors to reduce down to what is wanted:
OK
Use Join Vectors to close the new region:
Yes
Eventually, repeating the process as necessary for each separate region which one wishes until one arrives at something like to:
