• Clipping mask will not work on PDF or print

  I have a file which has applied a clipping mask. When sent to print or read in PDF format the clipping mask does not work.

  Here is a screenshot of the version I, then the PDF file (and which appears also when printing).

  Someone saw of what causes it and how it can be fixed?

  

  

  It resembles a well-organized file, but if you go in the tracks mode it looks like a file of hell :-)

  The problem seems to be caused by clipping masks which are made from a unique anchor point.

  Unlock all layers. Choose the command selection > objects > stray Points and remove them.

  The features of problem will become visible, as well as in Acrobat.

  

• Gradients to InDesign in Illustrator without clipping masks

  A customer created their logo in InDesign and there a lot of gradients and transparency involved. If I export as EPS or PDF or I copy and paste into Illustrator, everything happens as clipping masks. I really don't want to have to recreate all the gradients and transparency from scratch. No work around? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  How do you export the PDF file? You should use X / 4

• Clipping masks and opacity leaving hairline masks light

  I'm running a problem when you use a clipping mask or opacity mask in Illustrator CC 17.1. Either the type of mask leaves a contour slightly around the mask object, creating a noticeable pause in what should be a uniform background. A few details:

  I created a ring in 4 quadrants. Each quadrant contains objects/models which must be isolated from the other. Above the work of each quadrant, I stick it in Place a copy of the form of the quadrant including background colors and stroke are both set to none, the value of race field is empty, is not set to 0. Which meet the same color in the adjacent areas of each quadrant there is a slight balding. These are intended to be transparent, and I don't know why this is happening. When viewing as outlines, all vectors are overlap perfectly in my eyes.

  

  I tried the same thing with simpler forms, as a test and get the same results. In this example of 3 stacked objects, I built forms using form Builder tool (top), mask clipping (the middle one) and mask opacity (bottom):

  

  As you can see, the results are not consistent, but there is certainly some weak lines in each case. The constructor of the form doesn't have a line between black shapes for a reason, but there is a conflict between the colours cyan, where hidden objects stacked meet. At the same time, it is the reverse for the 2 following blocks.

  I read the posts in this forum and others on what is a matter of anti-aliasing, it will not be printed with weak contours, but not all applications of this graph will go to print. I exported files, PDF and various other formats EPS files. I have not noticed any loose in a TIFF file but the library files that I provide to my client will consist of the vector and other raster such as png and jpg files that do not show the low contours. When I place a PDF or EPS in Illustrator or InDesign layout, the hairlines are so that documents sent electronically, unprinted, have these visible lines. They remain also when I place an EPS in Photoshop that is unacceptable for the construction of graphics for the web.

  Can someone tell me if there is a solution to make transitions smoothly between the objects hidden in Illustrator? Or this just an inherent flaw with Illustrator (or maybe my approach to strengthen these graphics)?

  dugost,

  There is nothing wrong in the way you work with masks.

  It is disturbing that you can see the hairlines in a PDF file, png, and JPEG.

  Just to try something that can be stupid: you work in points/pixels, and are the quadrants in integer values (you can see the W and H values in the Transform palette, with integer values for two opposite corner ticked of reference Points and whole)? If this is not the case, what happens if you change to get that?

• Ive been trying for hours now, but illustrator wont allow me to create a clipping mask

  I created the spirit logo attached the pen tool. I then cut the Central Wick using the form generator tool.

  I imported it into a new document with an object/image that I want to hang it. I select the two go to object > clipping to mask.

  The two objects is suddenly off and I do not see the fill / no STROKE of the icons. If this does not happen then There nature and all just say "cannot make a clipping mask.

  This has been bothering me for a few days now.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  Herms-ra.

  You can do so quite different or similar with masks of Cliping, without or with background color purple/note/smoke.

  Note: There was an error in the first proposal in post #18: in step 5) you must select C) (purple/note/smoke color background to cut of the) instead of d) (the underlying texture of parties drops black), sorry, I just spotted it.

  You can (reusing a part of the first proposal):

  (1) return to, or start from scratch, with the following basic elements (starting with this stacking order):

  (A) the compound path, forming the dripping inner circle party black (in A).

  (B) the compound path, forming the external parties dripping with black,

  (C) the color purple/note/smoke to cut background

  (D) the underlying texture parts of gout black,.

  (E) the underlying texture of letter parts internal;

  Select 2) A) and B) and copy both to the top of the stacking order, then release both Compound paths and remove the inner path from A) and the external path of B), then turn them into a new compound path, consisting of forms of internal letters (you can use Pathfinder > less first plan or object > compound path > make);

  (((3) E move) (the underlying texture of parts internal letter) up just below the new path composed of 2), select both and opposition > clipping mask > make, and then to hide;

  (Select 4 (A) (composite route forming the dripping inner circle in black (A)) and b the compound path forming the outer circle dripping parts black) and object > compound path > make;

  ((5) select the combination of 4) and D) (the underlying texture of parties drops black) and object > clipping mask > make.

  (Show 6) 3).

  (C) the note/violet/smoky colored backgroun, if keep you it, or any other background will be visible everywhere where it is not covered.

• Text fill or use a clipping mask, then using the knife tool

  Hey, new to the forum here, and I have a problem...

  I'm scanning my notes for a course in Earth science, and I use Illustrator CS5.

  I'm trying to do a simple text effect that leaves me perplexed.

  The text says "Earthquakes" (indeed, 24pt.)

  I like the texture of the text with a picture of sandstone.  I can do this.

  I would like in conjunction with the text in two with the knife tool.  I can do that, too.

  I can't for the life of me, what to cut the text in two after applying the clipping mask.

  No can I apply the texture (via a clipping mask) after having cut the text in two.

  I tried all kinds of different combinations, including doing some work in Photoshop, and still nothing works.

  I tried to create a plan (apparently essential to use the knife on the text tool), cut the text in two and then make the clipping mask, but that only gives me letters, invisible, which I can't seem to fill with the appropriate image.

  Anyone out there have any ideas?

  In the case where it is not clear, I want my text to be filled by a picture, then I would cut half in text (I prefer to use the knife tool, as it looks better with a curved cut)

  It's as simple as that, but I could not fall on a solution on my own.

  On a side note, I also spent on some tutorials for 'cutting text' is to draw a line through it, and then using fracture in the Pathfinder palette, but this guard send me errors.  Thoughts?

  First of all, there is no need to use a clipping for texture mask. Drag the photo in the "Swatches" Panel and then use the texture sample resulting to fill the text! Then, drag the text object texture in the symbols Panel. Now you can drag the 2 instances of the new symbol on the artboard and hide to create the look you are after. Using this method, your text remains editable and can be changed by editing the symbol.

  

• Call to all transparent and clipping mask experts trace...

  I try to get all the white areas of the illustration attached 'globe' to blow to the background color. I tried to make the whole thing a compound path, tried clipping mask and different combinations to scout ahead without success. The image on the right, it is what happens when I make a compound path. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

  

  The easiest way, I think, would be to define the work of the white line as an opacity mask on top of the tan circle. Which is not a clipping mask, but does the same thing and it is much easier.

  Otherwise, outline the white lines and 'Unit' pathfinder tool, then delete out of the way (the circle), of the compound shape. That will leave the compound object appropriate to the clipping mask:

  

• Discecting an image using clipping masks

  Hello

  I created a vector object in rhino, I would use as a clipping mask to divide an image jpg in a lot of different parts, I don't want to block any part of the image only to divide it into several different sections that can each be manipulated individually, almost as if it was a giant of cut. I've read tutorials on using the tool of clipping with groups rather mask that to one of the objects, but whatever I do simply removes the part of the image I'm working the rest fair alone and not cut leaves. I'm pretty new to Illustrator then... uh, help.

  Thank you very much

  I do not know. You have not provided enough information. I have no idea of what size your raster image does not scale or size of the file. I don't know where you're going with this. Web site? Print? Flash? You'll just have to try and see.

  In any case, before you start, store the image embedded as a symbol and use Instances of symbols on the page. Symbols are stored in the file document only once. See the online help. But there may be other issues related to the size/space according to the specifications.

• To select lines within a clipping mask

  Hello

  I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but I just upgraded to CS4 and I'm having a few problems in illustrator.

  I have an illustration of a shirt where the collar and cuffs are illustrated by a good number of lines that are sitting inside a clipping mask to illustrate the ribs.

  I used to be able to individually select each of these lines when using CS3, but now that I'm on CS4, it won't let me do that, it will not literally select lines.  I was wondering if something changed regarding clipping paths in the upgrade as if I take off the same file in CS3, it works perfectly?

  If someone else has had a similar problem and found a solution I would appreciate any help you could give me!

  Maybe because you started using CS4 without having read enough about the changes?

  Masks in CS4 work differently because users like you and me were not satisfied with the visibility of the content beyond the mask mask (but you probably knew that).

  So now objects outside of the mask are not visible and not get calculated when you align, transform or even manipulate the mask + object.

  One of the consequences is that you can't seize objects beyond the mask in traditional methods. He worked 'perfectly' in CS3, but not in CS4 because the application has changed.

  Try to go through the contour mode and enter endpoints beyond the mask with the lasso tool.

• How to close a form image drawn to create a clipping mask?

  Hi friends,

  I hand - drew a skirt, took a picture of my design and trace the image to create a vector of my image.  I now use the clipping mask to fill my skirt with a pattern of drawing. See my skirt of drawing and model below.

  

  The only problem is that my drawing is not closed.  In the upper left corner of the skirt, there is this opening in the drawing (detail shot below).  What is the best way to bridge that gap, so I can use the image as a clipping mask?

  Thank you!

  

  Use the shapebuilder tool to fill the inside of the skirt with a color (any color)

  To close the gap, first double-click the tool in the tools Panel to enable detection of space.

  The colorful filling can be used as a clipping mask.

• How to create an object full of objects without the clipping masks

  Hello!

  I wanted to ask that I saw a lot of vectors on fotolia and shutterstock like this

  

  It is a typical example. world map with diamond. As you can see that there is no clipping mask, but all objects are in the perfect location. It is any script or any plugin or a tip or some way to easily create for these works.

  Thanks for any help in advance.

  You need the world map

  Then object > mosaic to create objects.

  Ungroup

  Remove all the white squares

  Their color randomly (there are scripts to achieve this on Wundes.com)

  Then object > transform > transform each: rotate 45 °

  Once again object > transform > transform each: scale and select a "random".

  Select some of them and change fill and stroke

  Select them all and reduce the opacity

• Totally worked out of clipping mask

  I use a rectangle as a top layer to hide a work under it. When I do the mask, the underlying work is ready for the limits of the rectangle and all but the remaining parts (the ones that were supposed to be completely concealed by the rectangle) actually show above the rectangle!

  It was working fine until yesterday then I messed up probably a certain framework or preference or so.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  I must be missing something. The point in the clipping mask is to reframe the work at its edges. The work will always be on top and visible.

• Help! Not available for actions in PSE13 clipping mask

  I have PSE13 and tried to run an action on it, and an error emerged saying "unavailable clipping mask" and the action will not work correctly. Does anyone know how can I fix? Initially, I thought it was because I have an enough space on my C: / drive so I did a LOT of space and still does not. I can't find any settings that I can pass by to available clipping mask or something like that as the tutorial for Photoshop shows.

  * SIGH *... I thought about it... I simply must have a flattened image before trying to perform an action. Well, I'll leave this here in case anyone runs into this problem.

  Good editing everyone!

• The result of editing clipping mask

  Hello

  After creating a mask of clipping - how to remove the mask so to speak and change other shape or objects.  In the screen shot below I made a basic clipping mask using a circle on a grid that was 2 columns and 5 rows.

  How can I remove the circle completely now the mask is done so I can play with and modify the desired effect?

  

  Thank you very much in advance for any help.

• Why is frequently around logos clipping masks?

  I've never really understood this, but often when I download or receive a logo for a company and open the file in Illustrator, there's a clipping mask that the work is grouped in.

  Why is this? I don't understand the point of containing the work of logo in a clipping mask... every time I worked on the logos I just group the elements at the end and save it as is.

  What Miss me?

  I found that more often, it means that somewhere down the line the logo has been registered in the form (and then open of) a PDF file without "Preserve Illustrator editing capabilities" checked. Clipping maske is the initial size of the art Commission.
