FREEHAND CURRICULUM

4 . Now let’s reposition the shapes. Using the

Pointer tool, select and position one circle to

overlap the other.

5 . Again using the Pointer tool, select both circles.

6 . C h o o s e Xtras > Path Operations > Punch t o

create a crescent shape (Figure 1-9).

CREATING COMPOSITE PATHS

Vector graphics consist of paths, which consist of points and path segments. A path segment, either

straight or curved, is the element spanning two points.

Each object you create with FreeHand has a single path. You can create composite paths to join or

modify shapes using the Path Operations. To create the crescent shape in Figure 1-9, you performed a

simple path operation. The Punch Path operation “punched” the overlap area of the background circle to

create a crescent shape.

Reshaping the Image

1 . Now let’s try another Path Operation to reshape our composite path even more. Choose the Line

tool from the Toolbox, and then draw a vertical line through the crescent shape (Figure 1-10).

2 . Use the pointer tool to select both the new line and the crescent shape.

3 . The Divide Path Operation works the same way as Punch. Choose Xtras > Path Operations > Divide

to divide the crescent into two pieces.

4 . Deselect by hitting the Tab key, then use the Pointer tool to select one piece and position it a short

distance from the other piece (Figure 1-11).

5 . Press Tab to again deselect all.

6 . Press the Delete key to delete the right side of the crescent.
