Minus Front
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,

Re: Minus Front
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.
