jackamus Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Is there a way of separating each of these shapes? This object is a result of using the combining shapes tool. I want to be able to put a separate fills in each shape. I could simply copy the object 6 times and delete one shape at a time. Is this my only option? Separate objects.afdesign Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed! Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools.

rui_mac Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I had that question a couple of days ago. You should use the Geometry->Divide command but in the current beta there is a bug that keeps that command dimmed. It should be fixed soon.

jackamus Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 So its only available on the Beta version? Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

rui_mac Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 No, I guess it is only available in the official version, bought from Apple Store. My solution was to copy the object to another black document, export it as PDF (or EPS), open it in the official version, perform the Divide, export it again as PDF (or EPS) and open it back in the beta version.

jackamus Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Now I understand! I already have the official version - so it should be possible for me.

Staff MEB Posted January 17, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi Jack. Yes you can use Layer -> Geometry -> Divide if you're using the MAS version. The bug only affects the latest beta.

jackamus Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thanks MEB. I eventually did it by making multiple copies and deleting each shape in turn. Next time I'll know better.
