How these paths were joined

Hi There,

I have found the attached path from a Tech Pack template of garments and I am surprised how the paths were joined in this Tech Pack because one closed path has been joined to an open path!

Do you have any idea?

Infomamun,Hi.

I think I solved the mystery.

I took your original shirt and separated all the paths.

Select your closed path of shirt. Then go to Select>Object>Direction handles. Then cut. Delete what’s left (all anchor points). Then paste in place.

That revealed the two arcs were duplicated and pasted in place.

So knowing that, I did the same on test paths.

I have two rectangles open paths and two arcs pasted on top of each other.

Then Object>Path Join.

Wow, I got ONE closed path.

Truly interesting.

If you do that with a design like the shirt, you might or might not end up with the result above. I tested it and ot this:

Soon after posting the question, I discovered this tricks of the original tech pack creator! Very interesting but I don't think I should do this way, there are easier ways than this complex technic... LOL!

Yes, there are definitely easier ways and this technique will throw you off when you have to edit one of those duplicated paths. Or apply something simple as a brush to simulate stitching
