Created a rectangle
Converted to Bitmap and filled
Created text

Trying to cut out the text from the rectangle…not having luck.

From reading, select rectangle, select text, and then Boolean Subtract icon (or from menu), but not active in Menu or icon…what am I missing?

Please

Try Tools → Boolean Assistant

You don’t want to convert to bitmap for this to work. Both components need to be vectors for boolean operations to work.

  1. create rectangle
  2. create text
    3a. if both objects are on the same layer the text should already be inverted from the rectangle
    3b. alternatively, you should now be able to apply a boolean operation to remove text from rectangle
  3. if you really want this to be a bitmap/raster you can now convert to bitmap. You will need to group the objects if you went with the first option.
