Using the Intersect command
Intersect creates a new path of the area common to all selected, closed paths, with
the stroke and fill attributes of the farthest back object. If selected paths don’t
overlap, the command deletes the selection, unless the Path Operations Consume
Original Paths preference is turned off (for more information, see “To set
retention options for original paths:” on page 196).
To apply the Intersect command to selected paths, do one of the following:
• Choose Modify > Combine > Intersect.
• Choose Window > Toolbars > Xtra Operations and click the Intersect icon.
Note: For more information on using and managing Xtras, see “Using and managing
Xtras” on page 79.
• Choose Xtras > Path Operations > Intersect.
