184x184 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi, I’m using AD on my iPad for a while now and really liking it! But in this particular case, I’m seem to be lost: I want subtract the two circlular shapes from the concentric circles, but I can’t get it to work like I want to. End result would have to a picture of the concentric circles with transparent space where the two circles were before. Anyone with the golden idea? Thanks in advance! Subtract?.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted January 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hi @184x184, Welcome to the forums. Any chance you can reattach the file in question? I cannot download it. Thanks, Gabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hello 184x184, The file is indeed inaccessible. If I have understood your problem correctly, and if the operation on iPad is the same as on Desktop, select the concentric circles, "Expand Stroke" and do "Add". Select the two circles, "Add". Select the set and do "Substract". I hope that's what you were looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
184x184 Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hi reglico, that seems to be the solution! Only thing is, that when I select the circles and click on Expand stroke, AD crashes on my iPad... Latest version, and iPad Pro 2018... So I think it’s a software issue on my side... File is reattached by the way, should be able to be downloaded now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Try this: 1. Add (or ‘Compound Add’) the two filled circles. 2. Add (or ‘Compound Add’) the concentric rings. 3. Subtract the ‘filled circles’ layer from the ‘concentric rings’ layer. If you don’t want an outline around the subtracted circles, you’ll need to set the stroke to ‘None’.

Could you please re-upload the file, so I can use it until the crashing issue gets fixed on my iPad? Thanks for your help!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM1 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 @184x184 On the iPad there is an issue with the 4th layer (elipse) from the bottom. Attempting to expand that elipse results in a crash. Delete it and replace it and you will be good to go. F6E9B797-CAE4-4B34-99C1-9570BDCA84A4.MP4 Subtract?-6.afdesign Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
