Quick links to procedures on this page:
Combining two or more objects creates a single object with common fill and outline attributes. You can combine rectangles, ellipses, polygons, stars, spirals, graphs, or text so that they are converted to a single curve object. If you need to modify the attributes of an object that has been combined from separate objects, you can break apart the combined object. You can extract a subpath from a combined object to create two separate objects. You can also weld two or more objects to create a single object. For information about welding objects, see Welding and intersecting objects.
The two objects (left) are combined to create a single object (right). The new object has the fill and outline properties of the last object selected.
