Keep full object from Boolean Difference like with Image Mask

[harrison]

One thing I find really useful about the image mask feature is the ability to move the original full image around within the object it’s masked in.

Is there any way I could go about doing something similar for a Boolean Differenced object?

Right now I’m copying and pasting each project at a least a few times experimenting with different placements.

If the feature were easy to port over from image trace, maybe a “keep Boolean-ed object in background” setting checkbox could be useful to some people?

Can you please show an illustration or example of this concept and how you would use it?

[harrison]

You got it.

Here’s my current process for trying out different positioning after a Boolean Subtract:

And here’s what it would look like using the image mask ability to adjust the original object post-Boolean

Note: I originally wrote image trace instead of image mask, which obviously must have made the post a little confusing.

Thank you for clarifying.
