I received a DWG from a client and I'm not able to apply tool paths due to the shapes not being closed vectors. It appears that each line segment is its own closed vectors therefore I can't join the entire shape. Any known fixes for this issue? The file is attached.
Thanks
Luke

Re: Trouble with joining open vectors
The problem appears to be duplicate vectors
Select duplicate vectors and delete them then you can join vectors (only 3 will remain open)

Re: Trouble with joining open vectors
I joined both shapes with the join tool without any problems. Depending on what your toolpath strategy is going to be you'll probably have to do some cutting/joining of the vectors on the left hand shape.
