Close Paths With Tolerance

Find paths whose endpoints are within a threshold and close them, either move ends together or join with a line.

Closes open vector paths when their endpoints sit close enough together to be treated as the same point. Useful for SVG and DXF imports where the original drawing's paths should be closed but the source's precision made them open.

When it opens

Menu: Modify → Close Open Paths with Tolerance (or similar entry under the vector menu).

Fields

Field	Type	Notes
Distance Threshold	slider, 0.01–5 mm	Paths whose endpoints fall within this distance are considered closable.
Mode	radio	Move Ends Together (snap endpoints to one shared point) or Join With Line (add a straight segment between them).

A live status panel shows:

Open shapes found
Will close
Remaining open

Updates automatically as you change the threshold (debounced ~150 ms).

Buttons

Cancel: dismiss.
Apply: perform the close on all matched paths.

Notes

After Apply, the preview and undo state invalidate. Use Undo to revert.
"Move Ends Together" produces cleaner closed shapes but moves the geometry slightly. "Join With Line" preserves the original endpoints exactly.
