Object Merge tools

Merge Start

Selected closed vectors that overlap can be merged together to create a new shape. These tools consider the closed vectors to be solid areas.

The following examples begin with these five vector shapes where the rectangle was selected last.


Weld Vectors

Merge Weld Weld Icon

Welds overlapping vectors together to create a new shape which follows the outermost edge of all the selected shapes.


Subtract Vectors

Merge Subtract Subtract Icon

Areas in the first shapes that overlap the last selected shape are removed. In this case, the last selected shape was the rectangle, so the rectangle is cut away from the circles anywhere that overlaps.


Keep Overlap of Vectors

Merge Intersect Overlap Icon

Only areas of the first selected parts (the circles) that are covered by the last selected vector (the rectangle) remain after this operation.
