I solve this problem with knockout group.

Appearance palette:

- delete dashed option on three strokes.

- add new stroke (red color, but no meaning color, it's only for study), set big size and set dash and set opacity zero %.

On layer "HUD icon Knockout" set Knockout group in Transparency palette.

HUD icon for knockout<Ellipse> is nested with "HUD icon Knockout" layer.

Thanks for this screenshot, it works perfectly!

What do I need to do to cut out elements to make it a 'Half-Moon' shape like the picture I posted.

I've done that but only 'Expand' appears.
