Default Close a shape

Hi, when I draw a shape sometimes I don't close it because I can't see vertex
or initial point , so I can't fill it. In order to apply fill I zoom to max
and see all point to detect the breake, please how I can fix it?, or how I
can close a shape automatically? (not Joint command). Thanks.

You could go into the shape's shapesheet and edit the geometry and set
the final X and Y to be Geometry1.X1 and Y1

Another thing to check is if you are dealing with a single shape. Select
around the shape and verify that only one item is selected. You can then use
JOIN to combine.

Also, it may be a single shape, but contain multiple Geometry sections for a
shape to close, all the lie segments need to be in the same Geometry
section.
