To combine two or more selected lines or drawn shapes:
1. Draw your two lines or QuickShapes.
2. Place the "clipping" object in front of the object to be cut out, using
the Arrange menu and/or Arrange toolbar as needed.
3. Select each object and choose Tools>Convert to Curves.
4. Select both objects.
5. Choose Combine Curves from the Arrange menu.
To restore the original shapes from a combined object:
• Select the combined object and choose Split Curves from the
Arrange menu.
Joining object outlines
WebPlus 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.
