If you’re like most people, you probably spend a lot of time in Illustrator designing logos, icons, and other graphics. And if you’re like most people, you probably struggle with separating shapes. In this article, we’ll show you how to do it easily. First, make sure that the objects you want to separate are all on the same layer. Then use the Pathfinder tool (Window > Pathfinder) to create a selection around each object. Next, use the Direct Selection tool (Window > Direct Selection) to select each individual shape inside your selection. Finally, use the Ungroup command (Window > Ungroup) to separate the shapes. ..
Choose the shape you want to separator and click on it. Choose the other shape and click on it to merge it into the first shape.
