txpatrol 1 Posted November 18, 2011 Seems like it should be simple....I want to trim the black oval so everything that is under the gray is deleted and I'm left with basically three new separate black objects. I tried Arange->Shaping->Trim and I'm left with the object shown in the middle....basically it's trimming it and making it one object instead of three, which is a PITA to clean up Is there a function I can use that will actually make new separated objects?

mcrimm 1 Posted November 18, 2011 Try back minus front and I think you will have what you want................ Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BearlyRich 167 Posted November 18, 2011 On that graphic, which looks to be only two objects, try "simplify" from the Shaping tab. It's what I use when I need to do what you're trying. Oh, and you have to have both objects selected to do this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ribs 2 Posted November 18, 2011 You could be dealing with a bad shape. It happens. Sometimes I need to create a small contour out, then back in again to recreate the shape, just to get it to cooperate. The file from Brands of the World doesn't appear to have the problems you're having. You may want to use it instead. http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/logo/311 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
