Trim Function

Currently using X5. I have an object within an object that I want trimmed out so the background color will show.


I selected object I want to be trimmed and then ctrl + shift select the second object I want to have it trimmed from. I hit, arrange + shaping + trim. I delete the 1st object and it appears as if nothing happened to the second object. I go into wireframe mode and it shows that the cut was indeed made. View it again in normal mode and I can't see the cut out area. Both objects are curved items. Both objects on same layer.

What am I doing wrong?

  • If you're able to show an illustration (maybe before and after) it may help to understand this. You'll need to use the rich formatting reply and then the insert media icon.

    And/or, you could upload a small non-confidential CDR file (up to 512K) using the same icon, or paste a link to a dropbox or similar copy of the file
