Path Intersection

Multiple
or
can be combined into a single path or text-path by performing an intersection on all the selected objects using the menu item Transform->Path Intersect. At least two paths or text-paths must be selected to perform this function (or one of each), and at least two of the paths8.5 must overlap. As with the |
|, the new path has the same styles as the
path in the selection. For example, in Figure 8.31(a), there are three overlapping paths. In Figure 8.31(b) the paths have been replaced by a single path created using the path intersect function.

Figure 8.31: Path intersection function: (a) original paths (the rear path has an orchid fill colour and round join style); (b) the three paths in (a) have been replaced by a single path using the path intersect function.
