What's the difference between Weld and Attach?

Weld melts shapes into one piece and erases the lines where they overlap. Attach keeps every shape separate but holds their positions on the mat.

The fix

  1. 1Want one solid piece, like a script name? Use Weld.
  2. 2Want separate pieces to stay where you placed them, like pen writing on a card? Use Attach.
  3. 3Not sure? Attach is the safe one: Detach undoes it any time.
