Add Joins two objects where they overlap to create a compound path, and fills the new shape with the ink of the front object. Com- pound paths can include multiple closed shapes that have holes in them, unlike objects created with the Outline option. Intersect Creates a new object from the intersection of all selected objects and fills the new object with the ink of the front object. All selected objects must be closed paths and share a common area. Punch Removes the area where selected objects intersect and fills the new object with the ink of the front object. If you select more than two objects, Canvas starts with the back object and continues forward through the stacking order. For example, you can create a quick illustration of a decorative bottle by combining a group of circles and then applying the Punch com- mand to that selected group of objects. Original objects: two circles and a rotated square Objects combined with the Outline method Outline shape smoothed into a heart using path- editing techniques With the Add method, Canvas merges the handle to the cup where they overlap, leaving a hole inside the handle Original objects Combined with Add method The Intersect method helps you create some useful, basic shapes. Here, the intersection of two circles (highlighted) results in an eye shape.
