snizl Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hey, I am sorry if this question is already asked, but I could not find a solution to my problem. I just started the trial version of Affinity Designer, and I have the following problem: Consider two circles that are partially overlapping: Is there any way to remove the region that is overlapping from one object? Sure I could realize almost the same when I just place the second circle on the top layer and give it the background colour, but this is very annoying when creating larger objects. I think this is basically an inversion of the mask function, where only the overlaying part is kept and everything else is hidden. Cheers, Snizl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted September 14, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hi @snizl, Welcome to the forums. You can achieve this by Boolean Operations. You can either Subtract or Divide. If you subtract, make sure you make a copy of your "top" layer as it's gonna be deleted by the operation. Thanks, Gabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
