help please - moving 1 vertice changes shape!??

Please allow me to join. I have experienced similar problems that Ron has had with his line art. In those cases I moved the job to Macromedia Freehand to join lines instantly and to finish the job. That is why I find this thread interesting.

I tried to resolve the problem with Rons art work using Egg's first illustration in the attached xar file. I selected the outline > break lines > deselect > select outline again > combine shapes – add shapes > select shape editor tool > edit with mouse. Will now allow to be edited the way Ron desired. Legitimate workaround?

Anders.
