• The Minus Back filter subtracts the
backmost selected objects from the
frontmost object. You can use this filter
to delete areas of your illustration by
adjusting the stacking order.
• The Divide filter divides a piece of
artwork into its component filled faces
(a
face is an area undivided by a line
segment). The resulting faces can then
be ungrouped and manipulated inde-
pendently of each other.
Note: If the Divide and Outline Will
Extract Unpainted Artwork option is on
in the Pathfinder Options dialog box,
unfilled objects in the selected artwork
are deleted when you apply the Divide or
the Outline filter. For more information,
see
Setting Pathfinder preferences .
