With this we covered the “Shape Options”.ħ - Now, the “Pathfinder Options”. If you hold the “Alt/Option” key and choose this option you will “Create a Compound Shape”. It will subtract the portions of the “Pats” that intersect and leave the rest. If you hold the “Alt/Option” key and choose this option you will “Create a Compound Shape”.Ħ - The “Exclude” option is very similar to “Intersect”, just inversed. It subtracts everything except the portions of the “Paths” that intersect. In this option, you can hold the “Alt/Option” key to “Create a Compound Shape”.ĥ - Next, is the “Intersect” option. As the name says, with this you can erase the portion that “Path” that stands on top occupies. If you hold the “Alt/Option” key and choose this option you will “Create a Compound Shape and Add to the Shape Area”.Ĥ - The second option is “Minus Front” or “Subtract”. It will unite everything and make it the same color as the one of the objects on top. Select all the “Paths” you want together with the “Selection Tool” and choose it in the “Panel”. Just remember that they will have just one color.ģ - The first option in the “Pathfinder Panel” is “Unite”. This will turn your “Stroke” into a “Path” and then, depending on your needs, you may have to use “Unite” in “Pathfinder” to merge them together. Make sure the “Pathfinder Panel” is open by going to Window > Pathfinder (Shift + Command/Control + F9).Ģ - There are certain things to take into account when using some of “Pathfinder’s” features, like if one of the “Paths” you want to work with has a “Stroke” is a good idea to select your “Path” and go to Object > Expand and make sure the “Fill” and “Stroke” boxes are checked. We are going to explore Illustrator’s “Pathfinder Panel”.ġ - In Illustrator, create a “New Document”.
