Thanks gdenby and reglico. It's not a simple process (except in something like AutoCAD which handles it easily). I actually managed to do what I wanted (file attached). From memory, I think I created the circles and and all the intersecting lines then probably converted to curves. Then I added nodes at strategic points then went around breaking the curves and deleting where needed. Now I just want to get rid of the white background or make it transparent somehow. I'm sure I'll figure something out. Thanks for your suggestions. ..... Well I attached the file but I don't see it anywhere I'm sorry.

I'm experimenting with the trial version of Designer before I decide whether to buy it. I'm trying to create a shape which involves drawing a circle (using the ellipse tool), then drawing some intersecting straight lines through the circle ... so far, so good ... then I want to remove sections of the circle between points where the straight lines intersect the circumference of the circle. Is this possible?
