  Hi there,

  I want to add start and end vertices on a specific location and join them with the another mask path which i’ve created to create a single mask path. How can i achive it with script?

  Did not test this function, but it should work. Save the values of your paths in an array and then use the function. It should return a path object that is the result of concatenating all the paths in the array, in order.

  function pastePathForArray(arrayOfPaths) {
      var finalPath = new Shape();
      for (var i = 0; i < arrayOfPaths.length; i++) {
          finalPath = pastePath(finalPath, arrayOfPaths[i]);
      }
      return finalPath;
      function pastePath(path1Value, path2Value) {
          var bothPaths = new Shape;
          bothPaths.vertices = path1Value.vertices.concat(path2Value.vertices);
          bothPaths.inTangents = path1Value.inTangents.concat(path2Value.inTangents);
          bothPaths.outTangents = path1Value.outTangents.concat(path2Value.outTangents);
          return bothPaths;
      }
  }
