Function Description

Remove the common parts of two or more objects and Compose as one object the rest.

There are a number of situations that can occur during the Xor operation, which are described separately below.

• If the objects involved in the operation intersect only at points, the face objects are combined into a complex object (as shown in the following figure, a complex face object with two sub-objects is generated).
• If the objects involved in the operation intersect only on lines, the adjacent edges between these objects disappear and merge into a single simple object.
• If the objects involved in the operation intersect in pairs and do not overlap, the intersecting parts will be deleted and then merged into a complex object (as shown in the following figure, a complex face object with two sub-objects is generated).
• If the participating operands continuously intersect faces and have no pairwise intersections (that is, common intersections), the participating operands are merged into a single simple face object.
• If the objects involved in the operation coincide with each other, all the objects involved in the operation are deleted.
• If the participating operands do not intersect with each other, a complex object is generated (as shown in the following figure, a complex face object with two sub-objects is generated).

Function entrance

Operating instructions

1. With the layer editable, select two or more objects.
2. On the Object Operation tab, in the Gallery control in the Object Editing group, click the Exclusive or button to bring up the Exclusive or dialog.
3. In the dialog box, set the objects you want to keep. Refer to the Property processing dialogs description for a description of the Post-Xor Properties Handling dialog and the parameters on the dialog.
4. Click the OK button to complete the Xor operation for the object.
