Once you create a compound path, the paths act as grouped objects.In the transform panel, all values refer to the bounding box of an object only if the bounding box is visible. Illustrator facilitates this process by automatically targeting the whole compound shape when you select any part of it, unless you explicitly target a component in the Layers panel.Ĭompound paths let you use an object to cut a hole in another object.įor example, you can create a doughnut shape from two nested circles.
Subsequently, you can change the paint, style, or transparency attributes of the compound shape. When you create a compound shape, it takes on the paint and transparency attributes of the topmost component in Add, Intersect, or Exclude mode. Compound shapes let you combine multiple objects and specify how you want each object to interact with the other objects.Ĭompound shapes are more versatile than compound paths because they provide four kinds of interactions: add, subtract, intersect, and exclude.
