The Pathfinder | Adobe Illustrator Quick Tips & Tricks:
Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel, in today’s video, I will walk you through every option of the pathfinder in adobe illustrator, step by step.
Summary of Pathfinder effects
Add
Traces the outline of all objects as if they were a single, merged object. The resulting shape takes on the paint attributes of the top object.
Intersect
Traces the outline of the region overlapped by all the objects.
Exclude
Traces all nonoverlapping areas of the objects, and makes overlapping areas transparent. Where an even number of objects overlap, the overlap becomes transparent. Where an odd number of objects overlap, the overlap becomes filled.
Subtract
Subtracts the frontmost objects from the backmost object. You can use this command to delete areas of an illustration by adjusting the stacking order.
Minus Back
Subtracts the objects in back from the frontmost object. You can use this command to delete areas of an illustration by adjusting the stacking order.
Divide
Separates a piece of artwork into its component-filled faces (a face is an area undivided by a line segment). Note: When you use the Divide button in the Pathfinder panel, you can use the Direct Selection or Group Selection tool to manipulate the resulting faces independently of each other. You can also choose to delete or preserve unfilled objects when applying the Divide command.
Trim
Removes the part of a filled object that is hidden. Removes any strokes and doesn't merge objects of the same color.
Merge
Removes the part of a filled object that is hidden. Removes any strokes and merges any adjoining or overlapping objects filled with the same color.
Crop
Divides artwork into its component-filled faces, and then deletes all the parts of the artwork that fall outside the boundary of the topmost object. It also removes any strokes.
Outline
Divides an object into its component line segments, or edges. This command is useful for preparing artwork that needs a trap for overprinting objects. See Create a trap. Note: When you use the Outline button in the Pathfinder panel, you can use the Direct Selection or Group Selection tool to manipulate each edge independently. You can also choose to delete or preserve unfilled objects when applying the Outline command.
