Hello

the subject says it all.

I converted some text to editable paths. I have the single letter which is a lowercase "a" former as AvantGarde font.
After the conversion it now consists in a compound object. I splitted this, risulting in 2 objects:
The inner circle and the outline,
Now I have to cut out a shape or more precisely a segment from the outline and from the inner circle, and join them again.

Beside that, adding points is a bit a pain, the point is not placing where I want it to place, so modifying a certain
segment of the path is really hard since one has to move the added point to the position where it was supposed
to be and reshape the object to get the orignal shape again.

is there a way to get around to these problems or am just looping?

I can either use PageStream 4.1.8.3
4.1.56 or 5.0.8.3 on A1

thanx for any hint.

It has been awhile, but I thought add points was improved before 5.0.8.3.

You can't rejoining existing points unless you use a script command.

MERGESUBPATHS

when executed from a script will replace moveto with lineto (except of
course the first moveto).
