Merge selected objects using the Weld or Combine tools.
Select vector or embroidery objects to shape.
Use Weld to merge overlapping objects into a single ‘flattened’ object.
Make symmetrical shapes by digitizing one half, duplicating and reflecting, then welding the duplicate shapes.
Use Combine to convert embroidery objects into multiple objects sharing the properties – stitch color and type, etc – of the topmost object.
If drawing tools are used as the input method, Combine converts vector objects to a single complex shape.
Tip: Cut objects in half by drawing a line through them and applying Divide. Apply Combine to create closed objects or Weld to fuse two objects.
