How to join rounded corner extrusions?

I'm just started learning, and couldn't make my very first join. 😞

I was able to import the extrusion profiles and cerate two parts. In the image, I show how I would like to join them. All the corners to reference to are rounded. How do I do this? Thank you for help!

I noticed you're using 80/20 extrusions. I'm not sure what you're doing, but they have various connectors and fasteners that you can download to connect your t-profiles. If you are trying to weld them or join them together, I included a video showing how to use the combine feature to do so. The only trick is that you have to have the parts touching, so you may need to move your two extrusions together before using combine.

 

Hope that helps.

I was able to solve it myself. I needed joint origins. I haven't yet studied how to do those cool screencasts to show other newbies how to do those, but once you know what you need to learn, it is easy to find the material to do so. For others, this is what I was after. Both parts have a joint origin (the magic word) where the corner lines meet, put there by putting it first to an existing corner and using offset. Since the joint is already made, both joint origins show as one:
