Editing Objects 127

To crop one shape to another:

1. Place the "clipping" object in front of the object to be cropped, using

the Arrange menu and/or Arrange toolbar as needed. In the

illustration above, a QuickShape is in front of a text frame.

2. With both objects selected (or grouped), choose Crop to Shape from

the Tools menu.

Combining lines and shapes

Combining curves is a way of creating a composite object from two or more

lines or drawn shapes. As with cropping to a shape, the object in front clips the

object(s) behind, in this case leaving one or more "holes" where the component

objects overlapped. As with grouping, you can apply formatting (such as line or

fill) to the combined object and continue to edit individual nodes and segments

with the Pointer tool. Unlike those other methods, a combined object

permanently takes the line and fill properties of the front object. Combining is

reversible, but the component objects keep the line and fill properties of the

combined object.

Combining is a quick way to create a mask or stencil cutout:
