Hi there,
I have a "simple" problem with sketch curve. How can i this curve (as you can see on the picture)to join (without midle point-vertex) ?

Do you really need it removed? Once joined it is only left behind, because you left Reference Original enabled. If you do a blend, extrude, etc using that edge you will see it is only one edge and you won't see an edge there as you would if it were seperate edges.
To remove it turn off Reference Original before Joining, however this is a less accurate approach for joining the edges and may alter the resulting shape.

"less accurate approach for joining the edges and may alter the resulting shape."
It sounds not very well. I atached picture to better illustrate my problems. I dlike to make a surface (railswp). You - as e nPowerMaster recommend me good way to make this surface without "seams" in central part of curves :)
"If you do a blend, extrude, etc using that edge you will see it is only one edge"
i see two edges

i see two edgesThat is because your verts are creating a hard edge. You need to modify your points leading up to the center to make a smooth transition and remove the "extra edge". Also, as I stated you can use Join with Reference Original disabled to get a shape close to the original 2. Since the middle point will now become a standard Control Point and not a corner the shape there will change. There is no way to get around that without using Reference Original.
