Introduction
In this tutorial we are going to draw a shape and subtract another shape from it.
Drawing the shapes
Click the Circle Tool on the toolbox and draw a circle on the canvas. Make sure that the create region layer and the create outline layer in the Tool Options Panel of the "Circle tool"are selected.
Click the Rectangle Tool on the toolbox and draw a rectangle on the canvas. Again make sure that the create region layer and the create outline layer in the Tool Options Panel of the "Rectangle tool" are selected.
For the sake of this example name the circle outline layer circleOutline and the circle region layer circle in the Layers Panel. Again in the Layers Panel rename the rectangle region layer baseShape and name the rectangle outline layer baseShapeoutline. If it is not already the case then select the circleOutline layer and the circle layer and move them to the top using the green arrows in the Layers Panel. Select all layers in the Layers Panel, right-click and choose group. Name the group baseShape.
Subtracting the shape
Click on the circle layer in the Layers Panel or on circle shape in the canvas and select the green handle in the middle of the circle and drag it over the baseShape. Release the mouse.
