For a graphics program primarily geared toward the non-designer production industry and Windows-based graphic artists, it packs some pro-level features along with its touted accessibility and ease of use. In fact, the software has some features Illustrator can't match-at least, not without the addition of purchased plug-ins or extra steps. That's why we were surprised at how easily CorelDraw turned our Illustrator-biased heads. When it comes to graphics software, Adobe is typically the name to beat.

Remove the fill and you should then be able to cut that object. You need to repeat this for each of the other similar joins (a total of 8 places) and then you should be able to fill the object, proving that it is now a single, closed curve. Ignore the difference, right click exactly on the join and select join. This is a new feature in X6 - v12 will not show those nodes. Note that I'm using X6 which shows two nodes at the join point. To join the nodes you must use the shape tool (F10) and marquee select where the join occurs : I think you probably cannot, because the nodes are not joined. after combining, try to see if you can fill the object. If you then want to cut those objects, arrange > combine will do that, but you will probably find there is a problem here. I could find no reason for the nested groups, so I suggest you start by selecting that top object and do arrange > ungroup all which will give you 8 selected objects (four curves and four lines) all at the same level. What you see is a group of 3 objects, one of which is itself a group of 6 objects. I've added some arbitrary colours, just so you can relate the individual objects to your design.

Looking at the topmost of your objects in object manger (I'm in X6 but I'm sure you will see the same in v12 if you expand where the signs are, you have. But I am sure that somebody with v12 will be able to adapt the procedure if this doesn't work in v12. so I can't be completely sure you will see exactly the same as me.
