    Sure. I'm trying to get a rounded trapezoid shape that will match a radial pattern. I thought I could accomplish this by creating two circles, placing two lines across them, joining and then cutting out the extra lines. What results is a hot mess of many overlaying anchorpoints.

    I use the shape tool to combine some shapes and delete stray paths. I then like to go into them and round them out. Usually half of the anchor points are missing the rounding tool circle. I will try to select an individual anchor point and try to delete it, but sometimes it will seem like a clown car of infinite anchor points that I am pulling out of the same anchor point. Join/Simplify/Cleanup don't seem to have any effect. This wastes a lot of time and I really wish "cleanup" would dissolve/merge the points into each other. Not sure what cleanup is doing if not th is.
