New objects with a different geometry can be created as a result of the combination of 2 or more objects.

This functions are available (when an object is selected) from:

•The Main Toolbar

Original Block

Object A: Red

Object B: Blue

The image shows the result of the addition A + B.

The result is a single object with the combined borders of both objects A and B.

The image shows the result of the subtraction A - B.

The result is a single object based on the object A, where the part of it that intersect with the object B was removed.

The image shows the result of the intersection A & B.

The result is a single object where the borders are the intersection between objects A and B.

The image shows the result of the exclusion between A and B. That is (A-B) + (B-A).

The results are objects that are based on each previous object, but the intersection between both objects was removed.

The image shows the result of the trim between A and B. That is (A-B) + (B-A) + (A&B)

The result are several not intersected objects covering the original region with similar characteristics.

The image shows the result of the block simplifying.

This is probably one of the most used functions, as it looks like the original block but it keeps the objects separated and it removes all overlaps.

This tool, available just for embroidery objects, creates a hole in the back object with the shape of the front object, but keeping a margin (small overlap between objects). This is a very common practice to avoid overstitching while kepping a good stitch covering on the edges
