join command

Hi all,

I'm using Illustrator CS2. I have a quick question about the join
command. Let's consider I have ten finite strokes close to each other
in such a way that you get the impression of a single line. The problem
is that they are not joined together. Is there a simple way to join
them like if the figure looks like the one below :

A-----------------B C-------------------D E--------------------F

where the letters give a name to the tips of each stroke. What I 'd
really like is to select all the strokes together without distinction
and use a "join" command such as (B and C) and (D and E) are joined. I
know the join command but using it on my figure would be very very time
consuming.

thank you,

Pluton

Illustrators join command doesn't work that way. You have to select
point b and point c and then join them, then point d and e and so on.

I have found it worth while to get the plug in from

http://rj-graffix.com/software/plugins.html#concatenate

That lets you do this with many options.

he has some free plugins on his site, concatenate is $20.00 I believe.

yes, I knew that, that's why I was asking for another and quicker
way...
