Working with Objects 131
To add shapes together:
1. Select the Shape Builder Tool on the Drawing toolbar.
2. Hover over a shape that overlaps another shape. You'll see a
cursor shown on hover over, above a shaded area (to indicate the
active region).
3. Drag to the neighbouring shape, using the drawn out dashed line as a
guide, then release the mouse button.
The properties of the shape lowest in the object order will always be
used as the basis for the new shape's properties.
All shapes under the drawn dashed line will be included in the
resulting shape.
As well as adding objects together, DrawPlus lets you take away (or subtract)
intersecting areas of overlapping shapes.
