I need help with cut tool. How to cut a shape inside a shape?

[cdytoby]

I want to cut a form inside a circle.

Before cut, it looks like this: 

If I move the triangle to almost the edge and leave the circle a little bit, and click cut, I got this, which is the effect I want.

 

However, if I put the triangle in the middle of the circle, and click cut, I have this, looks like it's not got cut:

 

 

The circle is filled with color, regardless of the existance of a shape inside.

How to make a cut inside a shape?

Check that the triangle is a curve and it's fill style is alternate, select both and perform a geometrical substract operation.

Hi @cdytoby,

Also, check the Fill mode under Layer > Fill mode and make sure it's set to alternate. 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Thanks.

Somehow the circle's fill mode is not alternate (I don't know what the other is called, I'm using chinese version), and the triangle is alternate mode, and after perform substrate, the whole shape's fill is the other mode.

So, after substrate, change fill mode to alternate works.

 

Thanks for the answer. Problem solved.
