Booleans don't work anymore

It seems that booleans option no longer works. I’m not sure if it was when I went to pro or not. I always end up joining shapes the long way.

In order for Booleans to work the following conditions must be met:

  • each path must be closed (shows as black, not magenta when on the Default layer (or other layer set to show as black))
  • the objects must overlap/intersect
  • the objects must not be in the same group (this would be indicated by all having a dashed highlight)

Upload the file you are having difficulty with and a screen grab showing the selection state you are having difficulty with.

I don’t have any files because I already worked through them. I do everything you listed and I used to use the feature all the time but it just stopped working. Is there a way to update the software? I also noticed that I don’t have the MC drag bit in my bit selection.

New versions are posted to:

and there is a beta at:

If you encounter a file/project where something doesn’t work, let us know and send us the file and we will walk through it with you.
