Rory Batho Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Hello, Hopefully someone can help. I've run into an issue and I can't seem to resolve it. I have created a wordcloud. It's a fairly basic fish shape. I want to the words to be transparent within the design, so that the background colour knocks through the design. So, it should be a simple act of selecting the words and the shape and performing the subtract function. However, every time I try to do this, the app crashes. I have tried subtracting one or two items at a time. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. But it's not really workable solution as there are many items to subtract. I have no problem getting this to work on other, very similar designs. It's just this one that seems to be problematic. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Striped Bass Cloud.afdesign Quote
Staff Callum Posted February 21, 2020 Staff Posted February 21, 2020 Hi Rory Batho, Welcome to the forums Rather than performing the subtract operation I would recommend Grouping all of your words together and then setting the blend mode to erase you can see an example of this in my attachment. Thanks C fish.afdesign Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.
