redspin Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 Hello, I have been using Illustrator for nearly 20 years. I have been hearing great things about AD2 and thought that I would give it a try, as it may drastically cut my monthly costs. I am just into my 7 day trial and for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to ungroup a shape that has been bisected into two separate shapes. Obviously, this was super simple for me on Illustrator with the years of experience in that program, but being new to AD2 I am sure I just don't know the proper term or tool name to search to figure out how to accomplish my goal. I did some Googling and browsing this forum, but I am striking out. So, I am including a link to a quick video that shows exactly what I am referring to. Any help would be greatly appreciate! Thank you! Quote

redspin Posted June 4, 2024 Author Posted June 4, 2024 Thank you, so much. Bit of a learning curve making the transition, but it is not all rough waters. I have already found some features in AD2 that I would have loved to use in Ai. And thank you, again, for the quick reply and welcome! Hangman 1 Quote
