Kuttyjoe Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Trim. The truth is, this feature only works properly in Adobe Illustrator. Every other program either doesn't have it, or the feature is buggy and creates a mess. Serif programs just don't have it. I fear that this might be a feature that is just incredibly hard to make work properly because I can't understand why only 1 program can actually achieve it. CorelDraw has both Trim, and Simplify which should both achieve the same results. Take a stack of overlapping objects with various sizes and shapes colors. Select them all. Press trim and the result should be that it looks visibly the same but that all the overlapping parts have been removed. For example, if you put a circle on top of a square then trim, remove the circle and the square will have a hole the size of the circle. Features like "minus front" are not the answer because I need to retain all the parts. This is a function that I do all day long in Illustrator for print work. It's a necessity that it works for quality vector separations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
