Divide does not yet work as one is used to from Illustrator and other graphics programs

[PaRunk]

Hello,

It's good that the Divide function has been revised.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work as it should.
Therefore I added three videos. Once when executing in the designer, which did not achieve the desired result. And the second video by doing the same function in Illustrator and getting the result I wanted.

In Designer I lose my contour object, which is also completely split up. So I have to laboriously combine all the surfaces again so that I get my contour line again or I have to make a copy beforehand and remove all purple and blue surfaces that I don't need after performing Divide.

In Illustrator, my outline object remains and there are no additional blue areas underneath. The remaining blue areas are then individual.

Tried another way to get the result you wanted (video 3). First I duplicated the contour object; I then subtracted the duplicate from the blue area and then applied the Divide command to the blue area. But then suddenly surfaces appear again on the surfaces that were previously removed.

Actually, only the blue areas should remain and be separated from each other in order to have them all individually.

Agreed, but I think you might have mixed up Divide booleans with Divide which is a new blending mode for layers. The latest Beta added this blending mode to help with the kind of stuff shown in the link below, which are not really boolean related. 1.9 booleans are no different from 1.8 booleans as of now. ^^

Ok, I guess I got this mixed up.

I would have been really happy if my problem mentioned had already been fixed.

@PaRunk Don't we all?

Hi PaRunk,
Frozen Death Knight is correct - the item mentioned relates to a new 'Divide' Blend Mode and doesn't relate to the Divide boolean operation - this issue is still with development.
