I know there is a way to do this and it has to be easier than I am making it. I am trying to make this Autism file for my fire department. I want to cut the maltese out. How can I do this? What is the easiest way with AI? I can't attach the AI file for some reason , can someone assist. I have the background image i want to come thru but I want to cut it out from the shape.

In which parts of your foreground motif should the puzzle pattern remain visible?

Please show it again (maybe as a sketch)

Keith,

As I (mis)understand it, you can:

1) Select the four black paths, then Ctrl/Cmd+8 to turn them into a Compound Path;

2) ShiftClcik the jigsaw artwork to also select that, then Ctrl/Cmd+7 to make a Clipping Mask.
