Weld Vectors
Selected closed vectors that overlap can be merged together to create a new shape. These tools consider the closed vectors to be solid areas.
The following examples begin with these five vector shapes where the rectangle was selected last.
Welds overlapping vectors together to create a new shape which follows the outermost edge of all the selected shapes.
When welding text, the internal regions of characters are preserved.

Usable In Both Views
This tool can be used in both the 2D and 3D View.
2D View offers a more direct way to view your vectors while 3D Offers more flexability to work with Vectors in 3D Designs and to make use of the Edit Boxes.
