I know I've done this before, but have forgotten. I Want to merge two graphic elements with the appearance that they are chain linked... I'm having trouble figuring out how to select just the one segment that should appear behind the other, while leaving the remaining portion in the front. I think I did it before with one of the merge/divide functions, and then recolored the selected piece. Something like that????

Depending on the shapes you use, that might do it.
The key is that they don't actually link; that is an optical illusion. So one PIECE of an object may be in front of another, and the rest of that object behind.
Divide can be very handy for this sometimes, but other times you have to fall back on scissors or knife tools to split things up.
