How do i join multiple paths to make one object.....

.... so as to be able to apply a fill over the whole object?? 
This might sound more obvious than it actually is in this case so i'll explain.  My partners artwork contains a lot of linework and unfortunately, i can't get the degree of accuracy i need with a continous path.  Therefore, the problem i have is joining lots of paths (some of which have endpoints joining midway through other paths) to make a single object with the strokes preserved, so i can apply a fill to the overall object or to individual sections. 
I've tried unite, join and all the other commands that i'm aware of but all give undesired effects.  I've tried using a compund path but all that does is make them act as one but still doesn't do what i need with regards to filling the object.
A simplified example of what i need to achieve is this...... create a square using 4 seperate paths and then a cross through the middle using more seperate paths to create a 4 box square.  I need to be able to make this one object so i can fill each individual square a different colour if need be?? 
This is something i've found i will need to be able to do on a regular basis so any help is gratefully received
Thanks for any help in advance

Thank you friend, this is exactly what i'm after.  Something so simple that has escaped my knowledge up until now...... absolute lifesaver
Thanks to both of you that answered

  • How do I join multiple mp3 files into one mp3 file?

    Hello,
    I have multiple mp3 files that I would like to join into one mp3 file and to use it as an audio book. This explains how to do it, but in iTunes 12, I do not see an option called "Part of a Compilation" option.
    Is there a way to do it in iTunes without installing a new app?
    Thank you.

    Eugene,
    Those instructions, if I read them correctly, are about how to collect several MP3s into a single audiobook.  They will not create a single continuous MP3.
    iTunes does not have the ability to combine multiple MP3s into a single MP3.  The best it can do is if you burn them to audio CD and then rip back with "Join Tracks" enabled.  The better way is to use an audio editor such as Audacity, or a special purpose combing tool such as MP3 Joiner.

  • How do I join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in Premiere Pro CS5?

    Hello,
    The question is in the title but I'm wondering how I can join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in PP CS5.5.  I put all my short clips right next to each other and selected all of them to see what options are available by right clicking and using the toolbar options at the top.  The closest that I got was to nest the sequence, but that's not what I really want.
    I'd like to merge all the short clips into one single (long) audio file to use under the video.
    Thoughts are welcome and  greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Melvin

    O.K. This is kind of fundamental and you will need to learn up on this fully ...but for now...
    Make sure you have the WAB ( work area bar )covering the length of the audio clips. ( You do not need to select them)
    Go to the File Menu> Export Media
    You will be given all the Export Options.  Choose Wave File
    Select option for Export Work Area.
    Choose where to export the file to ( HD location)
    follow your nose from there....

    BTW - Why are you taking the audio to Audition anyway? What are you going to do to it.

  • How do I join multiple Contacts on my iPhone 5?

    How do I join multiple Contacts that are exact or very similar on my iPhone 5?  When I bought my iP5, I merged my contact from my android phone but almost all of my contacts were duplicated (I now have over 4k contacts) in this process.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

    The app My Contacts Backup Pro will identify and delete identical duplicate contacts.

  • Best approach to join multiple statistics tables into one

    I have read different approaches to join multiple statistics tables into one, they all have a column "productobjectid".
    I want to get all data for each product and put it to excel and output a jpg statistic with cfchart.
    How would you do this, the sql part?
    Thanks.

    A couple suggestions:
    1) when joining tables, its best to list both table/fields that you are joining in the FROM clause:
    FROM shopproductbehaviour_views INNER JOIN shopproductbehaviour_sails ON shopproductbehaviour_views.productobjectid = shopproductbehaviour_sails.productobjectid
    2) You add tables to a SQL join by placing another join statement after the SQL above:
    SELECT *
    FROM TableA INNER JOIN TableB on TableA.myField = TableB.myField
    INNER JOIN TableC on TableA.anotherField = TableC.anotherField
    3) If you have columns in the tables that are named the same, you can use column aliases to change the way they appear in your record set:
    SELECT TableA.datetimecreated 'tablea_create_date', TableB.datetimecreated 'tableb_create_date'
    4) Certainly not a requirement, but you might want to look into using <cfqueryparam> in your where clause:
    WHERE shopproductbehaviour_sails.productobjectid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value="#all.productobjectid#">
     You might want to consider checking out one of the many tutorials on SQL available online.  Many of the questions you posed in your post are covered in pretty much every basic SQL tutorial.  Alternately, a good SQL book is worth its weight in gold for a beginning web applications developer.

  • How do I install multiple KMS keys on one server?

    I currently am working at Phelps County Regional Medical Center in Rolla, MO and my question is: How do I install multiple KMS keys onto one server? This is very urgent and I have the KMS activating Windows 7 but, I also need all my Office keys, Windows
    8, and Windows 8.1  to be activated via KMS. the current KMS is a Windows Server 2008 R2 server. Please help me out and thank you for your time! :)

    you need to apply the following update (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2885698)to your KMS server so you can license up to Windows 8.1.  From there your key for 8.1/2012R2 will license everything
    downwards and then you can also install your Office KMS key without issue.  If its Office 2013 then you need to download the files here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35584) 
    Be kind and Mark as Answer if I helped.

    Thanking you in advance.

    Just figured it out - I can select multiple messages as you suggested when I am not in full screen mode.
    So once I come out of full screen mode - then the multiple windows open.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Here adding to the words of “Tim”, a forwarder is a DNS server on a network used to forward DNS queries for external DNS names to DNS servers outside of that network. You can also forward queries according to specific domain names using conditional forwarders.
    A DNS server on a network is designated as a forwarder by having the other DNS servers in the network forward the queries they cannot resolve locally to that DNS server. You can refer information regarding forwarders and how to configure from beneath link.

  • How do I print multiple pages (2) to one A4 page?

    Hi folks,
    How do I print multiple pages (2) to one A4 page (as you can in a PDF) ?
    There is no option when I try to print & I have checked advanced etc. I have tried opening as a PDF. I have tried printing to PDF but it won't allow.
    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly welcomed - I don't fancy printing the whole 188 pages, but I need them all!
    Thanks,

    Hi Chris,
    Try this, and if you have any trouble get back and we'll trouble shoot, but I think it will work for you.
    Open System Preferences.
    Select Print & Scan
    Click on your printer under Printers in the left pane
    Click "Open Print Queue", on the right
    The print queue app will appear on your Dock
    Open a Finder window containing your files to be printed and select them all
    Drag the files from Finder to Print Queue icon in Dock

  • How can we make one object as synchronizable?

    Hi!
    I am new to java.How can we make one object as synchronizable?
    Thanx

    Synchronize is used to make an object and/or a functional sequence thread safe. By itself it does not make something thread safe.
    So the point is to make something thread safe not just to synchronize it.
    You can either sychronize a method like so....
          public synchronized void doit()
    Or you synchronize on an object (where 'Object' below is solely as an example, any object can be used)...
          Object lockObject = new Object();
          public void doit()
             sychronized (lockObject)

    Hello;
    I've found a lot of complaints about this through the Forte forum as well as on Dejanews. I'm just curious as to whether any of you ended up finding a solution to this problem.
    There was one posting about setting up the subdirectory as a URL rather than a String and then using that as the source of the ImageIcon ... but this didn't work for me.
    Any help whatsoever would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
