1. Re: Where did the possibility to join two smooth endpoints into one go?
[scott] Nov 12, 2012 11:20 AM (in response to Joanna Olsen)Command-Option-Shift-J / Ctrl-Alt-Shift-J - average and join gives the smooth/corner point option.

2. Re: Where did the possibility to join two smooth endpoints into one go?
Joanna Olsen Nov 12, 2012 11:27 AM (in response to [scott])Thank you for the reply ... very helpful (and fast), but this brings me to the next question ... where do I find this shortcut in the Keyboard Shortcut Dialog Box, so I can change it back to cmd+j? I looked under Object/Path ... but to no avail ...

4. Re: Where did the possibility to join two smooth endpoints into one go?
[scott] Nov 12, 2012 1:10 PM (in response to Joanna Olsen)Not certain you should alter the default shortcuts....
Command-J is join
Command-option-j is average
Command-Option-Shift-J is average and join
Each is very useful.

5. Re: Where did the possibility to join two smooth endpoints into one go?
Joanna Olsen Nov 12, 2012 1:26 PM (in response to [scott])Well ... since I use "Average and join" all the time and very seldom only "Join" I just switched the shortcuts, so now Join has the 4-keys shortcut.
Actually I can't think of a time I needed the corner join. Most of the time I use Pen Tool, and join paths with that, and with corner joins I just remove any excess points, but with more difficult smooth path constructions I find I often need the smooth join.
I never figured why one can't select more than one arm like you can select more than one point ... it would make altering symetric paths symetrically so much easier.
