Never used the 'average' join of path anchors, have always simply done it manually so learnt yet another process and when to use it, thank you. These shorts focusing on specific tools whilst including increased workflow options that speed up that process are an excellent method of learning. Superb!

This is great. I’m just starting out with illustrator and have recently spent around 12 hours grappling with the pen tool tracing a rather complicated sketch I’d done. I got some really odd fill effects happening due to my paths being incomplete although looking OK to the untrained eye. Learning about the join function has been a lifesaver for me! 😃

When I tried this again today, I had the end point of two lines overlapping using the 'Average' feature you describe here. But then, when I select both paths (lines) and choose Object-Path-Join, I got the following error from AI: 'To join, you must select two end points of the same or two different paths.' It worked before so I'm not sure which finicky AI condition I'm now missing.
@MichaelBullo

Try creating two new lines and joining them. This will hopefully identify if the problem is with the lines you were trying to join or the program itself. Also, if you aren't already, be sure to note if you are using the Selection Tool for selecting entire paths or the Direct Selection Tool for selecting individual anchor points.

@@MichaelBullo Create two identical circles, and they should be a little offset, so that when you select both and do Pathfinder -> Minus Front, it'll create a crescent moon shape. Now this shape is one continuous and closed path, but has two pointy edges. Now create a straight line, so that it connects these two pointy edges. And so my actual question is that, how do you make it so this straight line becomes part of the crescent moon path?

@@kumikostan69 I don’t believe you can. You have two points, the top and bottom of the crescent moon. These are already connected by two lines. You are now trying to connect them using a third line. You might want to look into the “Live Paint Bucket” tool. This allows you to select multiple paths and then fill and stroke everything inferred by those lines.

Perhaps you are running this on a complicated design and there may be multiple potential factors interfering. Try creating a very simple example from scratch and confirm that the process shown in the video works. Then add your various design elements and see what might be causing the problem.
