Union tool doesn't work

Hello ! after creating pieces I want to unite them but recently I’ve issues with this tool. I select the pieces and the points to join, and the second piece just disappear without joining. I’ve tried starting by the other piece ou the other point but it never works from some times now. It happened as well on other files while before was working perfectly well. I can send the file

before union

After union

The Union tool has never worked properly; it’s just not always obvious. Possibly @Douglas did something to hopefully mitigate some of the problems, but which is not working as intended, & can say what to do about it.

I would be happy to look at the pattern file to see if I can suss out where the XML went wonky. I’ll also need a compatible measurement file – especially if you have any custom measurements.

Hello, @Castiane,

You need to save the original pieces when creating a united piece, then the tool does work (but I still don’t trust it). I prefer to create a combined piece in the draft using the Mirror by Line tool, and then create a pattern piece of the whole.

If you have a back from before even trying the Unite tool, I’d suggest using it to give the tool another try and keeping the originals. If not, I suggest you send your pattern to @Pneumarian to remove all residue of the previous attempts and to check if the Unite tool will eventually work.
