Adding Paths

When you create a path of one or several objects, you create a copy in the form of a path, where the original objects have been dissolved and replaced with corresponding lines and fills. For example, a rectangle dissolves into a path of four connected strokes.

By creating a path, the number of objects is reduced to one. That is, the resulting path.

The advantage of using a path is that it speeds up the drawing of the object, which can be important when using animations.

The original objects remain unchanged and can be deleted, if required.
