88 Working with Objects
Joining object outlines
PagePlus includes some powerful tools to carve new shapes out of old
overlapping shapes. With add, subtract, intersect, or exclude commands you
actually produce a permanent new object (with a new outline) out of any
selected objects. The joined object can be further edited by adjusting nodes in
the new shape.
To join outlines:
1. Select objects.
2. Select an outlines option from the Join Outlines flyout on the
Arrange toolbar.
Add
Creates one new object that’s the sum of any two
selected objects.
The objects need not be overlapping.
Subtract
Discards the overlap between the top and bottom
object. The top object is also discarded. Useful as a
quick way of truncating shapes and pictures with
another object.
Ensure the objects are overlapping!
