After Boolean Intersect, no more objects

[B-Vs-V]

I have:

• two letters converted to curves
• several lines converted to curves after having added Outline path.

I wish to have the intersection of all these shapes --> boolean Intersect --> everything disappears

I have to press on "Exclude shapes from the bottom layer" to only get the intersection of the letter that is at the bottom of the layers:

@Pat Currently there is a limit with Intersect — if objects are overlapped two by two, selecting all of them and running Intersect won't work.

@b77 It is certainly the issue, thanks

@Pat Select the lines first and then select the shape, and Object -> Intersect with Last.

Another way for this is to clip those lines into the shape of the letter (P) and then use Object-> Expand Clipped Groups.

Should plain intersect be also improved, to better handle these kinds of cases?

@VectorStyler In fact, "intersection" works if I merge the two letters first. I can't keep them separated in two distinct layers. Nice !
