united - turn two objects into one object
united - turn two objects into one object
If A object is on B then when unite them it will become A's color
when doing compound shape, the original shape is still there
subtract - if A is on top of B then A will be cut out
It become group after that you can ungroup it
intersect - it only remains the area that is overlap
exclude - work opposite as intersect, it cut out the area that is overlap
pucker tool is cool
divide - can form a shape and ungroup will become individual objects
trim - swallow the stroke and then cut them
minus back is the opposite of minus front
