How do I cut a slice out of my shape?

You can use any shape as a cut out for another shape. Place one shape over the other, select both, and from the Arrange menu, select Combine Shapes > Subtract Shapes or use the keyboard shortcut ( Ctrl +2).

We recommend you view the workbook at xaraxone.com for additional information on Xara's path commands such as Clipview, join shapes, add shapes, subtract shapes and intersect shapes or view the help in Xara Designer.
