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?
Thats escellent Hugh, just the job Now its time for me to learn about that reverse direction function, I've never understood what it was for
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.
NICE. Many years I have come across this anomaly and now I can rest easy. ThankHugh.
I use a macro to solve that problem.
Sub ToggleWindingRuleOfSelectedObjects() Dim s As Shape For Each s In ActiveSelection.Shapes If s.Type = cdrCurveShape Then If s.FillMode = cdrFillWinding Then s.FillMode = cdrFillAlternate Else s.FillMode = cdrFillWinding End If End If Next sEnd Sub
