Choose Object > Path > <strong>Join<\/strong>. Notice that the anchor points on the left side of the paths are now joined with a path. If you want to join specific anchor points from separate paths, select the anchor points and press Command+J (Mac OS) or Ctrl+J (Windows).

The Scissors tool splits a <strong>path<\/strong>, graphics frame, or empty text frame at an anchor point or along a segment. Click and hold the Eraser ( ) tool to see and choose the Scissors ( ) tool. Click the path where you want to split it. When you split the <strong>path<\/strong>, two endpoints are created.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Select a shape tool or a pen tool, and click the Paths button in the options bar.<\/li>\n<li>Set tool-specific options, and draw the path. For more information, see Shape tool options and About the Pen tools.<\/li>\n<li>Draw additional path components if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How do I turn a selection into a path?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Turn a selection into a path by right-clicking inside an active selection (marching ants) and selecting \u201cMake Work Path.\u201d In the window that comes up, start with a \u201cTolerance\u201d of 2.0 pixels, then click OK. The marching ants will then become path (a vector line) in the shape of that selection.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What is a path in Photoshop?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>At its simplest a Photoshop path is a line with anchor points at either end. It can be a straight line or it can be curved, depending on how you create it. More-complex paths are made up of multiple segments, each with an anchor point at either end.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Which tool is used to draw a circle?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>compass is traditional tool for drawing circles A compass is the traditional tool for drawing precise circles, and its sharp point acts as a pivot. A pencil is attached to the other end.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What is pen tool?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Pen tool is probably the most powerful tool in Adobe Illustrator. It allows the artist to create shapes with freeform curves, and with time and skill, most curves found in the \u201creal world\u201d can be duplicated using the Pen tool. &#8230; It does not draw wherever you drag, like the Paintbrush or Pencil tools.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What two ways can you convert type to a Shape?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Select a text object with the Selection tool (V) and in the Appearance palette (Window>Appearance), choose Add New Fill from the flyout menu. Then go to the Effect menu and choose Convert to Shape>Rectangle.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What tool lets you cut objects and paths?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>When you click with the Scissors tool, a new anchor point is created and is selected. If you click the stroke of a closed shape (a circle, for example) with the Scissors tool, it simply cuts the path so that it becomes open (a path with two end points).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I use the path eraser tool?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jTYpjBmmdlU\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you create type that follows the shape of a path or an object?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Select the path type object.<\/li>\n<li>Do one of the following: Choose Type > Type On A Path and select an effect from the submenu.
