Letter outline within shape

Postby mwest123 » Mon Feb 18, 2019 1:59 am

Hi,

I've created a letter "M" within a square. Basically, I want to group these together and make the "M" transparent within the square, so it is just the outline. How do I do this? Thanks! :D

Try Path > Difference with the M on top and the blue rectangle at the bottom, and both of them selected. Don't group.
