Merge

When you merge objects, the new object covers the entire

surface of the original objects (it is the union of the

objects). In the same way as combining, the fill of the

merged object is determined by the fill of the object

furthest in the background. Other properties are not

taken over into the new object.

Subtract

When you subtract, the front object is subtracted from the

object behind it.

Intersect

When you intersect two objects, you get only the area

covered by both objects.

Tip

For more information on moving objects to the front or back, see page 83.

Practical example

The following example shows how you can use the merge functions to create a

complex shape—a knife with a wooden handle.

1) Draw an ellipse and then a rectangle overlapping half

of its width.

2) Select both shapes, right-click, and choose Shapes > Subtract from the pop-

up menu. The result should resemble the shape to the right:

3) Draw another rectangle and put it over the top half of the ellipse. Then

subtract again.
