Joining lines in Figma is an essential aspect of designing UI/UX, and fortunately, it is a straightforward task. As Figma is a vector-based designing tool, you have the freedom to draw and manipulate lines effortlessly. One crucial technique in Figma is the ability to join lines, and this blog post will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to do so.
Step 1: Draw Two Lines
First, let’s draw two lines that you want to join. You can do this by selecting the Line tool from the toolbar on the left. Draw your first line anywhere on your canvas, and then draw a second line that intersects the first one.
Step 2: Select the Lines
Next, you need to select the two lines that you’ve just drawn. Click and drag your cursor over both lines to select them. You can also hold down the Shift key and then click each line separately.
Step 3: Join the Lines
Now that you’ve selected both lines, it’s time to join them. You can do this by navigating to the menu bar and clicking on Object > Combine > Union.
Object > Combine > Union
After clicking on this, Figma will join the two lines together at their intersection, creating one continuous path.
Step 4: Edit the Path (Optional)
If you want to further edit your joined line, you can do this by adding nodes to your path, moving nodes, or adjusting node handles. To add nodes, just double-click anywhere on your path. To move nodes, just click and drag them. To adjust node handles, click and drag the handles that appear when a node is selected.
The process of joining lines in Figma is straightforward, but it is a powerful tool for creating complex shapes and paths in your designs. We hope this guide helps you improve your Figma skills and makes your design process smoother and more efficient.
Happy designing!
