I have two paths and I want them to be exact in one line.
I tried to do this by hand, but this not exact - there is an overlapping area between the two paths. How can I change that?
I'm using Adobe Illustrator CC 2015.

Search for path operations, or the pathfinder. Have you tried subtract one shape from another?– LucianoCommented Jul 26, 2016 at 10:18

But this is really not what I wanna do. It should like a country, each country has his border - the border to cross the other country. No no-mans land. It's working perfectly with a vector point - when you create a new one over an existing one, it said "anchor". I want the same function here for this "border".– tokuimoCommented Jul 26, 2016 at 14:51

Here is one thing that could work: picking one of the two overlapping segments and simply deleting it so the other stands alone.
- Find the Scissors Tool on your Tools Panel. If it isn't showing up, look for either the Eraser Tool or the Knife, then right-click it to reveal the options for that Tool Panel slot. The Scissors Tool should appear in a small menu. Here are the icons for CC 2016, which should be similar to what you're looking for...
- Pick one of the two segments that you would like to keep. Find the path associated with that segment, and then select the other path.
- Choose two points on this path for making your cuts. Everything on this path between those points will made into a separate path (on a separate layer).
- Select this separate path and delete
- OPTIONAL: Grouping the remaining paths, so that they will stay in the same place relative to each other.
Hope this helps!!
