MÍ1TE I If you intend to output to PostScript it might not be a good idea to combine paths nu E I that overlap each other. Again it s one of the limitations of the PostScript page description language in human terms a PostScript printer or image-setting device gets confused when a single closed path intersects itself the device doesn t know which areas to fill and which to leave empty. If you have a design need for a shape that looks like it self-intersects ensure proper PostScript output by using the Shaping docker or the buttons on the property bar when multiple objects are selected using the Pick tool to create the illusion of a self-intersecting object. Original objects Combined objects FIGURE 10-14 You can make two or more separate objects into a single compound path with the Combine command. CHAPTER 10 Drawing and Editing Objects 295 Breaking Paths Apart You can separate the individual paths in a compound path using the Break Curve command CTRL K . This command is available when a compound path composed of at least two subpaths is selected. Using the Extract Subpath command button in the property bar also does this but only for the selected path. Converting Objects to Curves Converting special types of objects to curves such as shapes auto-created with the Rectangle and Ellipse tools frees them to be manipulated with the Shape tool as if they were ordinary paths.

Converting an object to curves removes any special editing properties text loses its ability to be edited as text and rounded rectangles can no longer be edited to .
