Using the Punch command
Punch removes parts of selected, closed paths below the topmost, closed path. The front selected path is deleted as its shape punches a hole. Where a hole is fully enclosed within a path, a punched path becomes a composite path. Stroke and fill attributes remain unchanged.
To apply the Punch command to selected paths, do one of the following:
