Minus Front

[S_Cavanaugh@adobeforums.com]

I hope this isn't an overly stupid question, but how do I "minus front" in AI 11.0? In 9.0 and 10.0, there's a command in the Pathfinder palette called "Minus Front" that I use on a regular basis. In the 11.0 Pathfinder palette, there's a Minus Back, but no Minus Front.

Is there some special key combination to achieve it? I couldn't find anything about in the documentation or help, and a forum search didn't reveal anything (so please forgive me if this question has been handled elsewhere).

Regards,

In the Pathfinder palette, use the second icon from the left, top row. It's a Shape Mode, but works as an explicit Pathfinder if you hold Option while clicking it. It will punch the front object out of the one(s) which are selected behind it.
