Hi Peter,

The closed shape issue has thrown me for a loop on many occasions... kind of similar to earlier EPS, conversion voodoo. No all the time, but it really digs you when you're trying to figure out why you can't join nodes... because there are more than two there that you're not aware of. Really gums things up.

NO, I can't think of any beneficial use unless one thrives on confusement! It's amazing, you can TRIM a GROUP of shapes (which I would think would normally be non-feature because of complexity), yet when it comes to a simple line, it goes to a closed-shape!

Yeah, they really could address that one!

Have a good one,

Gary
