To Join/Unjoin Two or More Co-hosted Openings

The Join option combines two or more cutting elements to create an auto-penetration within the same plane. The cut offset is applied from the Penetration Configuration setting for the largest element in the join set. The Unjoin tool removes already joined penetrations and shows individual opening for the cutting elements .
