Using the Intersect command

Intersect creates a new path of the area common to all selected, closed paths, with the stroke and fill attributes of the farthest back object. If selected paths don't overlap, the command deletes the selection, unless the Path Operations Consume Original Paths preference is turned off (for more information, see To set retention options for original paths:).

To apply the Intersect command to selected paths, do one of the following:

Choose Modify > Combine > Intersect.

Choose Window > Toolbars > Xtra Operations and click the Intersect icon.

Note: For more information on using and managing Xtras, see Using and managing Xtras.

Choose Xtras > Path Operations > Intersect.
