Split/Merge

When the Design Window is open, the following options are available for selection on the Shape tab, in the Split/Merge group:

• Click Intersect Polygons to perform a Boolean Intersect operation on two or more polygons. (Ctrl+M,E)

  

• Click Intersect with Polygon Regions to intersect a set of polygons and solids with a polygon region. (Ctrl+I,G)

  

• Click Merge Shapes to merge two shapes by joining the chosen end points of each shape. (Ctrl+M,J)

  

• Click Subtract Polygons to subtract one or more polygons from another polygon or set of polygons. (Ctrl+P,P)

  

• Click Union Polygons to perform a Boolean UNION operation on two or more selected polygons. (Ctrl+U,P)

  

• Click XOR Polygons to perform a Boolean XOR operation on two or more selected polygons. (Ctrl+E,P)

  

• Click Split Shape at Point to split one shape into two by selecting an intersection point. The new shape inherits the properties of the input shape. (Ctrl+M,L)

  

• Click Create All Closed Areas to create a set of shapes from the areas enclosed by a set of input shapes. (Ctrl+T,C)

  

• Click Split Shape at Intersections to split a shape or a set of input shapes at intersections. The split shapes will inherit the properties of the input shape(s). (Ctrl+R,L)

  

• Click Split Shape into Segments to split one or more selected shapes into segments. (Ctrl+E,X)

  

• Click Clip by Polygon to clip selected design elements by polygon. You can choose to clip inside or clip outside the clipping polygon. (Ctrl+M,K)
