Hello all

 

I can't figure out a way to trim intersecting paths in Illustrator, like the way I could in Fresco:Am I missing something?

Are those draw using the blob bursh? In that case you could use the Divde function in the Pathfinders and then delete the leftovers.

Apart from that: I think there is already a feature request about that in Uservoice. https://illustrator.uservoice.com

Hi. It was done using the Pencil tool. Currently I am using Astute Graphic's Dynamic Sketch Tool (on the desktop version of Illustrator), which is very intuitive when trimming interesecting vector lines. I hope Adobe will have a similar feature. Of course there is the Shape Builder Tool... but it is not as seamless as the Dynamic Sketch Tool.

Ah, OK. 

You posted this in the iPad section of the forum, so I was assuming you are using an iPad.

 

Still: if you want to have a specific feature, please make a request in Uservoice. The developers do not read this forum.
