&nbsp; &nbsp;That makes two of us. I am quite new to Adobe Illustrator. &nbsp;I am going to see what I can find out about &quot;Merge&quot; Some how I think --Merge-- is what I need to do. &nbsp;Thank you <br />

I want to thank you both. I can see that I am on the right track, and will use both tools. The clipping mask will more closely resolve this issue.

I have two separate pieces of art work (2 separate files). I &nbsp;“placed” &nbsp;them on the art board. Now I would like to bring them together without making either one semitransparent. The problem I am running into is that the border of one layer (not the art in the layer) crosses over onto the other piece of art; blocking it out. Can I crop the layer to fit more tightly around the art? Or… is there another way?<br />

Thank you.

Working with layers

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
