Closing an open path

I have a path that, although it looks closed, is open so does
not fill correctly. How do I close it?
I'm using FW8 on OS X.
Thanks, Jake.
P.S. Apologies if I'm being dumb and have missed something
obvious!

Zoom in so you can clearly see the ends of the two paths you
want to
join. Use the Subselection tool to drag the ends together.
You'll see a
gentle snap when they join.

Is it possible to join an open path with a closed path?

I am using Illustrator to show territorial changes to Germany after World War I.
My problem is this: I need to join an open path to a closed path.
With the pencil tool I drew a blue line to illustrate the Rhine river on an SVG map of Weimar Germany.
I need to connect the river (open path) to Germany's borders (closed path) so that a new closed path is formed: the Rhineland (Weimar Germany west
of the Rhine).
I am totally stumped as to how to achieve this. Thank you very much for any help anyone can provide.

Two ways you can make it a Live Paint Group then you actually d not hvve to join it in order to get it to react like a closed path.
The other way is to the select the portion of the closed path with either the direct select tool or lasso tool and hit Command C the hit Comand F paste in front and in the same position. then select the end points on one end of both path and hit Command J then do the same for the other ends of the path and now you have a new closed path and the old closed path under it still intact.
I think the live paint group though will open up a much more powerful workflow for you if you do this type of work often.

The selected objects cannot be joined as they are invalid objects,( Compound paths, closed paths, Text Objects, Graphs, Live Paint group). You can use Join command to connect two or more paths, paths in groups; ot to close an open path.

Hi I was trying to join two Ractangle Tool objects but getting this type of Error in illustrator cs6 :-
The selected objects cannot be joined as they are invalid objects,( Compound paths, closed paths, Text Objects, Graphs, Live Paint group).

Please assist me asap.

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
This sound like a firewall issue. I would start by disabling the firewall and seeing if you can connect. If this works then you know where the problem is,

Who has a find Open Path plug-in for CS4 Illustrator on WinXP and a close path also?

Can anyone lead me to a plug-ins for finding open paths and closing them in CS4 on WinXP?
Thanks

Just a thought, but, have you tried using Live Paint?

Has anyone else noticed that on CC the pentool does not allow you to create an open path? When I try to make two open paths(eg; two separate lines), the pentool connects them automatically. Also it does not automatically close a path. This is both a probl

This is a big headache having the pentool respond this way. Does anyone else have this problem? I have also installed CC 2014 on my home computer and have the same problem. so it seems to be a problem with the program.

Hi Doug,
I'm sure I did not notice a difference in Esc key behavior simply because I have never tried to use the Esc key to stop the Pen Tool from picking up the current path.
I just tested with all these versions of Photoshop: 6.0, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6, CC 14.x, and CC (2014) on my PC workstation running Windows 8.1.
Observations:
Photoshop versions 6.0, CS5, and CS6 DO terminate the creation of the current path at the current point upon pressing the Esc key. However, Photoshop versions CS2, CS3, CS4, CC 14.x, and CC (2014). do not terminate the creation of the path upon pressing Esc, and will continue the path with another pen click. Photoshop CC 14.x and CC (2014) may make it SEEM like the path creation is terminated because they hide the points, but the next click continues the path and causes all the points to reappear.
In every case holding the control key down (to temporarily choose the Direct Selection Tool) and clicking off the current path terminates the creation with an open path and allows the creation of another separate path.
No version closes the path (made the path into a closed shape) upon pressing Esc. The only way I know to close a path is to bring the cursor back to the starting point, watch for a little o to appear next to the cursor, then click the mouse.
With Photoshop 6.0, CS2, CS3, CS4, and CS5 the response of the Pen Tool was instantaneous. There was a definite slowdown / sluggishness in Photoshop CS6 and CC 14.x, which is now corrected in Photoshop CC (2014), which is again instantly responsive.
The only other thing I can think of regarding closing a path might be that when using the Pen Tool there are choices in the Options Bar about whether you're creating a shape or a path. Are you ensuring you have that set the same way as you have had it set in the past?

Layer style stroke for open paths

I would like to be able to apply something like the Layer Style Stroke to open Paths non-destructively (so »Stroke path with brush« does not meet my, well, »needs« might be to strong a word).
Currently using a Path as a Vector Mask for a Solid Color Layer and applying Stroke to that causes open Paths to appear closed.

We are happy that you like the new features in CS6. You can request new features from your ideas here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family and people can vote on them.
Note: A shape layer stroke is a vector-based stroke and is applied only to shape layers. This is very different from the layer syle stroke.
You can control the settings for this stroke in the options bar for the vector tools (Shape, Pen, Path Selection, Direct Selection). This stroke is an attribute of the shape layer and will not cause the fx icon to display on the layer in the Layers panel.
A layer style stroke is a pixel-based stroke and can be applied to any layer that accepts layer styles (including shape layers). The settings for this stroke are controlled via the Layer Styles dialog.

Finding Open Paths

I'm running into an issue where I cannot select the option of aligning a border to the inside, outside, etc. I know this is unselectable when working with an open path. Yet I cannot figure out where my path is open. I'm working with a complex shape with a lot of points (it's a shape of the Americas as one object.) But for the life of me, I cannot figure out where the path is unconnected. Does Illustrator have a way of showing where a path begins and ends?

This .zip archive contains an AI Javascript named JET_X_SelectFirstEndPoints.jsx.
The script selects the first anchorPoint of each open path (or open subpath of a Compound Path) in the current selection. That lets you see where the break is in the path(s).
The "_X_" in the name means I've just written it (as experiment propted by this thread), so have not tested it thoroughly. But it works fine for me here.
The .zip archive on
this page contains (among others) two scripts, one of which closes selected open paths; the other of which opens selected closed paths by removing their closing segment.

How can I get the Fireworks pen tool to disengage from an open path shape (and stay disengaged)!

I am so frustrated! I can't get the fireworks pen tool to disengage when I am finished creating an open path shape (double clicking the end-point isn't working). The only way I can disengage the pen tool is to click on a different tool, BUT ...if I do that (i.e., click on a different tool), and then go back to the pen tool (with the intent to create another open path shape), the pen tool automatically engages the last point of my prior open path shape ... and ... no matter what I do, I can't get the pen tool in Fireworks to stop doing this with my open path shapes.
If anyone has any helpful advice, it would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
(note: I prefer not to have to go back and forth creating open path shapes in Illustrator then bring them into Fireworks, but if all else fails, I suppose I'll have to as a work-around.)

Have you tried holding the Command key and clicking away from the last point? The Command (⌘) key will bring up the Subselection tool; clicking on the canvas with it will allow you to disengage from the path. Once you release the key, the Pen tool will return and you can begin another path.

GL balances differences between Year end closing and opening balances

Hi friends,
One GL account balances showing differences between year end closing & year opening balances.
Example: 2006 closing balance is 250000 $
2007 opening balance is 150000 $
difference is 100000 $ . why should coming like this. already completed balances carryforward (F.16) in 2006 & 2007 year.
any programe for this solution ?
One more point is just 2 days back i posted 2 entries for 2006 year equal to 100000 $ . after this entries shall we need go for F.16 (carry forwarded balances).
please do the needful. It is very urgant issue.
Raj

HI,
There shouldn't be any more postings to a GL Account once Balance carry forward has been executed.
If postings have been made then you should execute the Balance carry forward again, otherwise you will see difference in opening and closing GL balance (as mentioned by you).

Why does closing all open windows (15) and leaving only one drop ram usage from 1.5 to 1.4Gb and not more.

Why does closing all open windows (15) and leaving only one drop ram usage by only 100mb from 1.5 to 1.4Gb.
What is in this 1.4 gb ?
I don't care much about ram, It's just that cpu usage spike like crazy by the end.

Hi musicfan,<br />Sorry you are having problems with Firefox. Maybe you should have asked earlier and we could have fixed it.
Reading your comments I do not see that rolling back to an insecure Firefox 22 will actually help you much. You are probably best using IE, unless you have also damaged that.
*[[Export bookmarks to Internet Explorer]]
You should not use old versions they are insecure. Security fixes are publicised and exploitable.
* [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
* https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
Most others will not be having such problems. We are now able to say that with confidence because after developers missed a regression in Firefox 4 telemetry was introduced so that data was obtained. It may be an idea to turn on your telemetry, if you have not already done so, and decide to stick with Firefox.

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

PO closed or open?

Hi,
How do we know whether a Purchase order is closed or open?
Thanks,
Krishna

It depends a bit on your definition of closed.
When is your PO closed ? after full goods receipt, after invoice receipt, after 2 years, after having done the payment , after having set a deletion indicator?
ME2M allows to list only POs with open GR if you use selection parameter WE101.
If you use selection parameter RECHNUNG you get all POs with a missing invoice.
Using R-ERLEDIGT will show you all POs having an invoice, but if you dont use GRbasedIV you have to check if you still have open GRs, if you use GRbasedIV then you can be certain that it is closed (even you dont know if there will still come invoices for unplanned costs)
