Sharing intersecting paths

Postby Glenn » Thu Mar 19, 2009 3:15 pm

Hi all,

I am trying to create a map with a body of water postioned over the regional border. I wish to be able to select the path on one side of the water to shade a different colour from the other side of the water. This entails sharing segments of the path of the lake with the border.

I want to be able to trim the border path to the intersecting edge of the lake path and share the joining segment.

I have achieved this previously but now unable to replicate it. Very frustrating. See attached example (simple mock up) .

Can't you apply a fill to the left half, and the right half, and then make sure your water is raised about those two halves?
