I need to know the best way to do something.
I have what appears to be a square on the screen but when I click on it there are 4 quadrants of vectors. Top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right. What is the fastest and best way to join all of them together so that when I click on the square I get one vector with 4 nodes, one in each corner?
I export these vectors to our IT guy who uses some of them on our web site. He says that even though I have them grouped so that they appear on my end to be one entity when he opens them in Adobe Illustrator there are four different vectors like I described. I need to make them into one vector on my end so that AI sees them as one vector and he has a lot less work to do joining up the work I send him. (The vectors I send him are a LOT more complicated than squares!)
Another example. Say I create two line segments 3" long and place them exactly opposite each other but 1/4" apart. How is the best way to "join" them together so that they are one vector with only two nodes, one on each end?
Thanks,
Joe
