ok, so i know how to group things. I want to know how to make a shape with a hole in it and it will be one shape without a group. for example to make a donut shape. the way i do it is make a circle and another circle with a background color in it. but im sure there is an easier way! please help!Adobe illustrator Q? how do you merge layers to make one shape?
The Pathfinder palette is your friend.
The most common way to make your donut shape involves the Subtract function in the Pathfinder palette.
Drag out a circle. Drag out a smaller circle on top of it.
Optional: Select both circles and click Windows -%26gt; Align, and in the top row of icons, click the second (horizontal align center) and fourth (vertical align center) icons to line them up symmetrically.
Click Windows -%26gt; Pathfinder to open the Pathfinder palette (if it isn't already open).
Select both circles, and click the Subtract icon (2nd icon on top row).
