Yes, using a "magic" sequence of operations you can unify shapes
(obtain a single shape that covers the union of the areas of one or
more shapes) and subtract shapes (obtain a shape that covers the area
of one shape minus the area covered by another partially overlapping
shape). See the Intersect tutorial for details. You can find it on
your ArtWorks 2 CD.
