Hi all.
Im having a real problem with this. Im trying to cut out the centre of the letter R below. Normally I break curve apart, select the centre, and trim it from the outer. I can then select the centre piece and remove it. As you can see, this has worked with the letters P & O. When I do it with the R it seems to have worked, to the point where I can even select the centre and remove it, but when I put it back over a coloured background, it is still white. Anybody know the answer?
With the Smart Fill tool click every letter, then select all the new objects just created with the Smart Fill tool, Combine them, and you're done.
