How to Join, Cut, Split, Crop (and More) an Object/ Path/ Shape in Adobe Illustrator.

In this tutorial I will show you how you can:
Cut, split, weld, join, merge, seperate, combine, crop, separate (and much more) with adobe Illustrator's Pathfinders and Shape Modes.

These are all must know features for any Illustrator user! They have helped me out so many times in the past, helping me solve my design problems.

Hope you find the video useful.

Thanks for watching :)
