How do you cut out the stroke of Multi-colored shapes aligned over the top of each other?

Thank you so much 😊

thats helpful

Great !!

legend, thank you for the tutorial :)

i appreciate it. time is precious. got what i need ina moment. what was i doing all this time🤓 i subscribed & shared w peers.you are a blessing. p.s. how to do export assets?

I feel like i got gods hands as help.

Unlike Corel Draw, though, you cannot merge two objects if they are not touching together. Say I wanna add a gradient effect to 4 separate objects "merged" (welded in Corel) together, I just couldn't on Iluustrator, because here the objects gotta be touching or on top of each other. Sad limitation.
