I have an image that I want to use my gel pens to trace but I have a small problem. They eyes and nose are three separate pieces and I want to hide part of the eyes under the nose but I want to still have the whole nose. I have no idea if it can even be done but anyone with any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Try this:
Arrange the eye and nose how you want them. "Copy" the nose. "Paste in place" a new nose. Now select the new nose and the eye (shift click on them). In the "Path" menu use "Front Minus Back" or "Back Minus Front" depending on how the objects are stacked - probably "Back Minus Front" since the nose copy should be in front of the eye.
Does that get you what you want?

P.S. The above is with 2.023.

I don't usually create in SCAL, only cut, but I have to admit I love some of the new features. I had not tried this until I read it and I have to admit it is a bit simpler than using INK.
