Slicing shapes
Slicing a collection of objects uses the top-most object as a 'cutter' to slice all the objects under it. Note that Slicing images on export is a different operation.
To slice a shape
1. Select the objects.
2. On the Arrange menu, choose Combine Shapes then Slice Shapes (or press CTRL+4).
Tips
You can use with all object types
including bitmaps.
If you use a line as the top object
you can easily cut objects into pieces.
If
you need to slice a line, it is easier to add a point to the line and
use the Break button on the Shape Editor Tool Infobar.
See Breaking lines and shapes
apart.
If a line is used to cut an object,
the end points of the line must both lie outside the object.
