How-To Guide

1

Select Shapes

Hold Shift and click multiple overlapping vector shapes on your artboard.

2

Open Pathfinder

Navigate to the Pathfinder dock on the right panel.

3

Choose Operation

Click Unite, Minus Front, Intersect, or Exclude to compute the combined geometry.

4

Expand or Refine

Keep the shape live as a compound path or expand into discrete Bezier segments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Unite and Group?
Group bundles distinct objects together, whereas Unite merges overlapping shapes into a single unified continuous boundary.
Can I apply Pathfinder operations to text?
Yes! Convert text to outlines first (Create Outlines), then combine or punch holes through letterforms.
Does Pathfinder work with curved paths?
Yes, Bezier curves are accurately preserved and re-segmented at intersection points.
Can I undo boolean operations?
Yes, OmniVector maintains a full history stack so you can undo and redo at any time.
