How do I do this, but I want to include the stroke in the removal from other shape? I am noticing that only the "fill" part of the shape is extracting.

Thanks! I haven't used Illustrator since college, and I completely forgot where they hide their (admittedly) useful little tools.

I got a shape sticking out of a shape. How do I get just the part that's sticking out deleted and keep the rest of the shape. Part of the triangle is sticking out of this square I have it in I have no clue how to get just the part that's sticking out deleted

Only problem is that the round corners tool does not apply for the new corners. In your smiley for example you are not able to round the mouth

What happened when you have a group of shapes and want to cut away a shape from that?

[Lollilenaa]

I feel so dumb but when I do this, it doesn't do anything and I don't see where the mistake might be...
