If you move one of the objects, the connecting polygon line retains the connections between
the objects.
Using the Smart Vector Fill tool
With the Smart Vector Fill tool you can apply a fill to overlapping areas of vector objects. The tool
creates a closed vector object which is equivalent to the area defined by multiple vector segments.
To use the Smart Vector Fill tool:
1. Draw two or more vector objects with the objects overlapping.
2.
Select the Smart Vector Fill tool from the Toolbox.
3. In the Properties bar, select the Attributes, Position, and Tolerance.
4. Select a fill ink, or select a fill ink, pen ink, and stroke, depending on which attributes you
selected in the Properties bar.
5. Click an overlapping area of the vector objects to create the vector fill object.
In this example, the triangle and rectangle overlap areas on the
circle. The Smart Vector Fill tool has been used to create vector fill
objects for the overlapping areas.
To select different overlapping areas:
Arrange the objects by moving them forward or backward in relation to the other objects. Right-
click an object and select Arrange | Bring to Front, Send to Back, Shuffle Up, or Shuffle Down.
