Divide shapes
Boolean operations can make two or more shapes interact to produce different shapes. Compound shapes are the result of so-called Boolean operations. Results are fully editable at all times. All shapes will retain their special properties, such as rounded corners or sides. Compound shapes are also known as Boolean groups.

Divide shapes
When editing your design, you can divide overlapping elements become multiple shapes. Divide means creating a new shape out of all the overlapped regions along with the originally selected shapes.
- Simply select the overlapping elements then go to Settings Panel, Arrange, Shape Modes, and select divide.
- After that, the overlapping elements will be divided into multiple shapes.
Tip: Divide does not support non-destructive operation, it can’t change back to the original shapes after you divide the shapes.
