Erasing - Has Stroke??


ok, trying create something. had overlapping shapes stroke layer style , wanted erase part of shape white there rather line overlapping. apparently cs4 cant erase lines if layer in has stroke layer??? cuz when erase, pushes line, cool, if wanted keep line erase shape create custom one. want rid of line. think knew how merge shapes in cs3 them share same outline, dont know how now. plus dont think want cuz want shapes share outline in specific area. please fustrating. had 30min between school , work , wanted create , failed , wasted valuable time.

can tell me how merge shapes though? if put 2 circles ven diagram , merge them have 1 outline not intersecting gets rid of middle lines create sort of () shape , instead have 1 big outline of 2 circles?

christine,
for outline issue, need change setting "layer mask hides effect", in advanced blending options (right-click on thumbnail of layer, select "blending options in contextual menu). using layer masks , not erasing destructively, right?

to merge shapes: did not state if in different layers.
if not: select both paths path selection tool (black arrow), , in option bar, click on combine, or intersecting icon, commit button.

if on separate layers select vector mask of shape 1 path selection tool, copy, target vector mask of shape layer 2, paste, follow same procedure explained in previous paragraph.

hope helps.
