Sorry for the confusion of the title but I don't even know what to call what is happening. Hopefully the included images will help. It's like the "lightbox" won't stay in one place and floats depending on my navigating around the screen. Obviously it makes doing any work a real challenge. It doesn't happen with all of my files, so clearly some inadvertent keystroke likely caused it. Help! Edit: I'm on a Mac.

Many thanks. I think a big problem I was making for myself was trying to do it with the circle BORDER and not just making a "donut". Now that I've done it the donut way, the subtraction works. And also, thanks for the user guide.

I recently adopted AD as my go-to for some graphical work I do and will readily admit that I'm a total novice. I actually used to use Adobe Flash as my tool of choice (I learned my way around Flash about 20 years ago and just got comfortable. Unfortunately, I have steadfastly refused to adopt Adobe Cloud and now my older Flash will no longer work with my Mac, hence the need to move to a new program). Anyway, I've enjoyed learning and figuring out how to do things, though I know I'm more than likely to find workarounds for some things I want to do as opposed to learning them "properly". With all that said, I found myself stumped on what I thought might be easy, and I'm also no doubt handicapped by my ignorance on basic program verbiage. Here's my current issue: I created a simple black circle/ring. I would like to remove a small section at the bottom of this circle/ring, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how!!! Currently, I'm using a white trapezoid to block out the area, but I want to actually remove this segment from the ring. HOW???!!!
