Open Vectors in Library Design Elements

[m_chilcott (m_chilcott@yahoo.com)]

After opening several different elements in the library, many have open vectors.

Is there any easy way to close open vectors (such as in the apple9 element)?

Export as an SVG and open in a traditional vector editor:

Select all and expand strokes to paths:

using some reasonable setting:

Union to create a Composite path

re-save as an SVG:

which will open as closed paths in Carbide Create:

Attached as a v8 file.

I found a solution, or what seems to be one.

1. select the open vector
2. Make a copy (ctrl-C)
3. Paste (ctrl-V)
4. Place the pasted copy exactly on top of the original vector. I zoomed into an endpoint and moved the copied one as needed.
5. Now select the 2nd open vector as well.
6. left click on the open vctors on the Info panel and select “Try to join”
