: Make vectors coincident in Illustrator I'm a little bit confused about this situation. As you can see in the image below, I a have two differnt paths and I would like to make that portion

@Lengel450

You shouldn't.

Okay, that might need some clarification. Yes, it is possible to make two vectors border each other precisely. The method to achieve it involves copying a part of one path, breaking open the other and joining the copied part into it.

But even though you can, you shouldn't, as vectors that align perfectly are prone to create errors when rendered later. Most rendering engines will render both vectors separately, in both cases anti-aliasing with the background colour. Those two instances of anti-aliasing will create a thin but visible white line between the two shapes. In your case, that would be between the wheel and the skate.

My advice would be to have the skate extend behind the wheel, as long as it's not near the wheel's edges.

A similar problem is solved in this question about Hillary Clinton's logo.
