Silhouette Studio® V4 | Chapter 6 - Manipulating Images
44
For example:
This is the same image unfilled. All parts are grouped together.
If this is a non-compound image and it is filled with a color feature, this will be the result:
Even though grouped together, all line sets are still just individual pieces lying on top of each other, so they are all filled with the selected fill effect.
If this image has a compound path and it is filled with a color feature, this will be the result:
The unfilled parts of the image cannot be filled with compound path images because these embedded areas are negative space. Compound paths can still be ungrouped to move multiple image parts around, but the action of ungrouping will immediately release the compound path and make it a non-compound path image To make a series of multiple selected images a compound path, you may right-click until the multiple parts are all selected and select Make Compound Path. Similarly, you may right-click on a compound image and select Release Compound Path to perform the opposite action. These options may also be found in the Object menu.
