Where is the "divide" function in corel x3?

[javila]

In illustrator you have "divide" under path finder. Bascically ou grab eighty million objects that overlap, hit divide, and they will all cut each other so them you have like 20 million objects with non overlapping.

I can't for the life of me find this in corel.

combine?

 

[Flame]

You mean the "trim" feature?

 

[javila]

Combine makes them into one single object, that would be the same as compound in Illy.

Trim is...the same as trim in illy as well.

edit: picture for reference: up top is four objects. Select all > Divide gives you all the objects underneath. (I "exploded" them so you can see all the objects)

 

[weaselboogie]

Trim funtion on that.... Select what you dont want trimmed and then click the trim button. You will then trim away from what you don't want remaining.

 

[Flame]

Yeah..... select all, and then click trim. Does just what the picture shows.

 

[javila]

Trim isn't what I need. I want all the objects to cut each other, and leave the rest of the objects.

Trim takes five objects and leaves you five objects. Divide will take five objects and leave you with 9 if you have four overlaps.

This is what trim does for me in corel. (and illustrator)

Could it be


weld somewhere in the shaping area

do you have flexi?

 

[javila]

Flexi can do this as well, it's called seperate overlap, but I want to know if it can be done in corel. I'm giving corel a shot.

 

[OneUpTenn]

Sorry I thought you were needing to get something done right away and I thought maybe Flexi could help you in this situation. Good Luck to you. I dont know in Corel.

I believe intersect is what your after. Where ever you have overlaps intersect will create a shape of the overlap.

 

[weaselboogie]

I don't think that there is a single one click button to do this.

You could do interest, then that will leave the 'intersected' section. Then, trim that intersected section from each of the original pieces.
