Assignment
  The Pathfinder
Pathfinder commands change the shapes of objects by adding or subtracting the outlines, or paths, around them
The pathfinder commands combine, isolate and subdivide objects. They also build new objects by intersection.
Note: To know what each tool does hold the pointer over the icons at the bottom of the dialogue box until their name is revealed.
Experiment with the different pathfinder options!
