Shape Handling 163

Three selected rectangles, with a 1px
border.

"ARRANGE" > "COMBINE SHAPES" >
"INTERSECT ALL SHAPES" slices the shapes
along the intersected lines. The 1pt
borders show the outlines of the new
shapes.

You can then pull the rectangles apart to
reveal the new shapes.

The line attributes and colors of the intersected shapes are unchanged.

SmartShapes

SmartShapes are a way enhanced functionality can be added to Web Designer
Premium. SmartShapes are plug-ins. Each SmartShape incorporates its own editing
controls, usually in the form of small handles you drag to adjust the shape.

Find SmartShapes throughout the ONLINE CONTENT CATALOG and under the INSERT
MENU. For example choose "INSERT" > "SHAPE" from the main menu to choose from a
selection of simple SmartShapes.

Or with the QUICKSHAPE TOOL selected, click on the INSERT button on the InfoBar.
