I am trying to combine several paths together so the outline will form the perfect cutting line. But I keep getting the error message: The selected objects cannot be joined together as they are invalid objects. 

 

The the picutres you can see the E i need to comine all layers together so it will form one outline in stead of four indivudual objects.

 

Thanks in advance for all the support.
