I just can't get it to work.I would like to have the background under my dieline in the outline shapes.Dieline has no padding (this is not possible) so it only has an outline.The following steps don't work:1. Group [Command + G2. Composite path3. Create cutout path

Of course!

I just uploaded the Ai file via wetransfer. See the link here

I hope that is good too! I am very curious to see if you can solve the problem, as I work with this kind of dieline files more often.

Omineus, Hi.

Thank you for uploading your file.

I see your Laag layer has 70 open paths and 0 closed paths

Here I duplicated your Laag layer

Next Object>Live Paint. I used your green to Fill.

Expand Live Paint. Delete the strokes

Pathfinder’s>Unite. Now you have one closed path, green color

Move your original Laag Layer to the top
