Combine objects

Use Digitize / Edit Objects > Weld to merge selected overlapping objects into a single ‘flattened’ object.

Digitizers often want to combine or ‘weld’ objects into a single object. Also when opening machine files which have been broken into multiple objects, you sometimes want to merge these back together. The technique can also help with auto-digitized designs. Simply select the objects you want to merge, and click the Weld button.
