I couldn't load your file but I will try to find out how to load 4.5 files The fill hole method seemed to work fine, thanks heaps! ...however now I've got more woes Could you (or someone) please show me how to merge the two shapes shown in this project file? Am I doing something wrong? In this file, I have gone as far as I can go in terms of merging these two shapes before problems start popping up all over the place. If I go any further in the process of merging these two shapes, it spits the dummy.
