The triangle that you are left with, was it a separate shape to begin with? I downloaded your drawing to use as a template and drew those two vertical columns as adjacent rectangles and then drew a single line to connect them. Would you mind if you can kindly enlighten me further on this?
That wouldn't be my intention to cut out the triangular selection, only the line that i had described in my starting post of this topic. After I applied my 2nd cut (marked red circle), the 4 anchor points of the entire object disappeared, and the result was a triangular selection with 4 anchor points. I Then applied the 1st cut on the 1st intersection point (marked with a red arrow), which resulted in 2 of the 4 anchor points of the entire object (further right top and bottom points) to move to the point where i applied my 1st cut.ģrd Step (Pic below).
It then showed 4 anchor points on the 4 corners of the entire object.Ģnd Step (Pic shown below). I selected the entire object which it's top & bottom line intersected with another vertical object i created (My intention was to cut out the lines that intersected with the vertical object). I tried using the instructions you gave, below are the screenshots of each step i took while using the scissor tool:ġst Step (Pic as shown below). It would really be appreciated if someone gave this a shot and helped the newcomer(s) <- that's me rolling my eyes out of shear frustration.Thank you so much for your explaining. I'm likely not understanding the terminology or something. soooo.If anyone can answer the question in simple terms. I end up with a bunch of what appears to maybe be pathed of lines or something shapes of where I erased showing instead of just a blank area from erasing. not just a blank spot in the form of a circle. NOW I want to erase the lines that are overlapping.etc. So.I made some shapes, created paths and stroked them to make them turn into lines. even had an image showing the lines the eraser is creating. The other dude, that started with the question. not responding like a newcomer knows what the heck you're talking about. I'm trying out the program to see if it's worth purchasing.
#Eraser making new paths trial#
but I'm operating from a 7 day trial version. does anyone recall what it was like to use this program when you first got it. What the heck is a fella ta do? Does anyone have any idea how frustrating this is. I thing the easiest way to achieve your desired result is to go into outline mode, use the Direct Select tool to select your text, and then hit delete.
You are erasing part of that rectangle when you are trying to erase the text, and what you are seeing is a hole in the bottom rectangle. Somewhere under your text, there is a rectangle with a thick black stroke on it. Where the text has no rectangle under it, no "outline" is made. You can see on the left that the stroke of the "outline" left by the eraser is really the stroke from the rectangle that was partially erased. The box on the right is the result if the text only is selected when the eraser is being used. In the sample below, the column on the left is the result if everything in the document is selected, or if nothing is when the eraser is being used. The objects that you are erasing have it. You are not really hearing what you are being told here.
