Moho Forum

I've got a VERY basic question, but can't find the answer online until now.
I'm drawing an O with a hole in the middle. The middle hole can have it's own color, but I want the part around the hole to have it's own color and the middle hole to be transparent. Just like a normal O would look.
When I make the middle hole transparent the color of the outer band appears. Is there a way to 'cut out' the middle whole and make it transparent, and make it ignore the color of the outer band?

While working with other vector drawing software (CorelDraw) I learned the direction of the inner vectors has to be the opposite of the outer direction to achieve that (a cut out middle part), but I can't find a function in Moho to do that.
Hope someone can put me on the right (vector) path. A link to a tutorial about that would be great too.

Update: I found out it can be done with the eraser after drawing the outer part. However then I have to edit the points and bezier curves of the cut out part afterwards heavily. Some way by 'drawing' the middle hole would be quicker and more convenient.

When you create your shape, disable 'Auto Stroke' and 'Auto Fill', found at the top when you use most drawing tools. Draw your outer and inner shapes as you like. Then select all the points and use the 'Create Object' tool. The highlighted area will be the portion that will actually receive color. Press 'Enter' and you should have a shape with a hole in its center.

When you create an object using the paint bucket fill tool, any area that receives fill/stroke is classified as a single object by Moho, and any changes to the stroke/fill will change all areas of that single object.

Thank you Dave. That does the trick!
