I am working on a graphic logo. Within the logo there is the word "BUILDERS".
The beginning of the word "builde" is over a white background. The R and the S
at the end of buildeRS both cross over the edge of a vecor image which lies
below them. The vector image has a rounded edge to it and the letter R lays
half way over the primary white background, and the other half (vertically
speaking) lies over the vector image. I need to have the letter R change color
along the edge of the vector graphic, so the word BUILDERS is in all green
letters until half way through the R when it changes to white as it passes over
the edge of the vector. The color change should follow the line of the vector
image in the background.

I really hope that made sense. I could use any help you can give.

Thanks --Kevin

1) Make a second R and line it up exactly with the one you have. (If you cant'
get perfect alignment, make a copy of your text, convert to path, ungroup, and
delete all the parts except the R.)
2) Make a copy of your vector shape.
3) Select both the copy R and copy vector shape and then Modify>Combine
Paths>Intersect.

What this should give you is just the area where the R and the shape both
overlap. Then....
4) Change the color of this area to whatever you want it to be.

pixlor ~ thank you very much! I will be trying this out later today.

Oh! And your second R need to be converted to a path, too! Sorry! (Dagnabit...and I was trying to be careful, too!)

Let me know how it goes!

Well I tried this and both the letter R and the vector image below it turned
pure white ... essentially I am looking at an empty canvas. I tried the "Join
Paths" option instead and got what I was looking for!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!!!

Okay! :grin; As long as you got something working!
