[Solved] How to Make a Hole in a Shape

[Ento]

I have my R letter (shape filled with black), and the hole in the R is another shape (filled with white). How can I make that hole actually a hole, I want the hole in R to be transparent. I tried something called clipping but didn’t work quite well.

Assuming your ‘R’ shape is a path and not text

If you put the path that is the hole shape above the ‘R’ shape
Then select ‘Modify / Create Compound Shape / Subtract’ this will make a hole and it will be transparent

This creates a compound shape, if you want a single path with the hole in it just select ‘Modify / Path / Convert To Path’

Hope this helps

Thanks. The first method was what I needed!
