Ofek Aman Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi everybody,can someone explain please how can I do inverse clipping? What I mean is for example if I have a circle on top of a square and I want to cut the part of the circle that's inside the square and be left with the square and the part of the circle that's outside the square as two different shapes.

Ofek Aman Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Thanks HVDB Fotografie. Is there also a way to do this in Affinity Designer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofek Aman Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Thanks MBd but I tried using them and I'm always left with the inside part of the circle except when I add the shapes but then they're not separate anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) guess you need to go for XOR to get one shape or use divide, does divide not work for you? sorry, you want t keep the rectangle, so you have to subtract the rectangle from the circle put the rectangle on top of the circle in the layers panel duplicate the rectangle select one rectangle and the circle and press subtract Edited January 29, 2017 by MBd Ofek Aman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 or use divide, does divide not work for you? Unless I've misunderstood, 'Divide' should work perfectly for this. It cuts the circle in two where it overlaps the rectangle, and you can then simply delete the unwanted piece.

Ofek Aman Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 MBd thanks a lot that worked perfectly! Divide didn't work because it also cuts the rectangle and I want to keep it uncut. anon1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divide didn't work because it also cuts the rectangle and I want to keep it uncut. Oh, OK, so I did misunderstand! In theory you should be able to add back the overlapping piece instead of deleting it, but in practice it doesn't get added back perfectly, so MBd's method is the way to go.

Madame Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Sorry to add to the "confusion". Make a rectangle and a circle. Place the circle where you want it on top of the rectangle. Select both objects, click combine.
