How can I permanently join curves?

So I have a curve joined from smaller segments, I need to find the middle of the curve but but my snaps still catch on the individual components. Is there a command stronger than join that will create a new, single curve for me to use and can’t be exploded?

Thanks

Rebuild or FitCrv may do what you’re after.

Hi Weson - if the curve segments are G2, curvature continuous, then use Match with the Merge option rather then Join.
