• Clipping masks in have CS5 removes accidents vascular cerebral and other Follies

  When you create a clipping mask, Illustrator CS5 removes the stroke on the mask itself and when I add the return stroke, it adds the same stroke to objects in the clipping mask.

  In the file below, Figure 1 shows a rectangle with a black border and an orange circle with no stroke. Figure 2 shows the result of creating a clipping mask - the black line on the rectangle has been removed. Figure 3 shows the result of the addition of the black line to the mask - it adds the stroke to the orange circle as well.

  This is one of the many things on Illustrator that lead me to believe that Adobe people have never tried to work with their own programs. Why the hell would I want the shot to be eliminated in the first place and why would I want to add elements within the mask when I go to replace it?

  Is there anything I should do differently or is this yet another oblivion, I have to work around forever?

  

  Have you used the direct Selection (Open arrow) tool to select the clipping mask? It should work.

• How to get the transparent lines in a black box (clipping mask)?

  Hello

  This is the first time I use Illustrator, so I hope it's a simple question.  I created a black box and a series of segments of white line through it.  Now I need those white lines to 'cut' the black box.  At the end of the day, I need just the black parts of the box with transparent bottom lines in it (so the lines take whatever the context located - that is a different image or color).  I tried to group the line segments and create a clipping mask, but had no luck.  Does anyone have advice on how this can be accomplished?

  Thank you, Marc

  

  Expand the white lines, then use the Pathfinder Palette tool for either Subtract (without tool) or divide the white lines in the cup of the black box as desired.

• 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.

• Why the clipping masks are made for a Place/Embed?

  Illustrator CS6 (all updates)

  I have a simple and clean logo with a couple of transparent traces (letters like the 'e', 'A').  There is no clipping paths.  Everything works very well in this file, if I save it, re - open and edit, etc..

  If I have 'Place' or drag this file in a brand new, delete the file and then 'Embed' work, it creates 2 the size of the artboard clipping masks.  More importantly, it messes up the transparent traces so that I have to select them and use the shape mode "Unite" so that it can work properly.  I see this when trying to add a line to the letters... the race is broken until I use the button on the unit.  Even undo the compound path and redo it does not work.  In the image as an attachment, you can see how a place is broken, as well as the way in which 'inside' or 'outside' is available for embedded version.

  What gives?

  Thank you

  Eric

  

  When you drag a. HAVE file and drop it onto an open. File to HAVE in Illustrator, which is equivalent to the file > Place, he became a partner. You cannot change the contents of the files linked directly because they are supposed to be changed out and update when changed. Thus, Illustrator uses the means to isolate the linked file to edit its content and provide a means for the linking functionality. These resources are provided by 'create a file PDF Compatible file' option when you save the. File to HAVE it. If you save a. File without this option and try to use it as a link, you will get this weird text instead. With this option checked, you will be able to use the file as a link in another. File to HAVE it.  Also keep in mind that if you embed a linked file it will equal not copying a file open. Coating can change the objects of no basic appearance. For example if the linked file has envelope distort, points will result in the expansion of the envelope that will produce a clipping mask group.

• 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.

• A simpler method of dividing or clipping mask?

  OK, I'm back with a new question. Design to go on Tshirt

  NOT CE DESIGN, just example.

  Shirt color shows while creating lines in the gun (indicated by black background)
  

  Here I have a firearm on a locked layer black background. All the white parts of the pistol

  are their own forms, grouped. (so the gun rest the gun.)
  

  As you can see, with a pistol on the right, the black background (color of the shirt) shows

  by creating the outline of the gun.

  Now, I want to overlay of this indicator on the gun to fire at

  where it seems that the gun has a flag on this issue.
  

  

  Now here's a clipping mask. Yes it works, but for what I do. I can't have paths in the background

  that make up the flag. No extra charge no matter what, just the barrel and research as it has a flag. Clipping path

  method also creates a larger file. For screen printing on t-shirts, these additional lines of the invisible flag

  can cause a problem.

  

  Divide then works fine. I put the gun in the back, the flag on the front and divide. Then ungroup.

  In the image below, I've removed many of the parts of the Pavilion which were divided.

  However, then I have to hunt for the paths that I want to be transparent (so shirt shows through lines).

  It takes a lot of time. You can see that I chose a piece inside the drum of spinning, where the bullets are going inside.
  This piece is deleted, like many others, up to what the black shirt color indicates where to, once again.

  

  There must be an easier way to do it. So he superimposed the indicator only on the white of the forms that make the gun
  as a clipping mask, but where I can remove all paths associated with the parts of the flag I don't need.

  Notice to lovers?

  
  This is exactly the situation I have right now. I have a skull that I need to superimpose a flag on.

  I THOUGHT WITH A WORKAROUND... I'M A GENIUS!

  Thus, while brainstorming, I think I have a better method.

  We will use a black background as a cutter.

  With the help of a black background even size as a document.

  With the help of skull original to cut through leaving the black. (select skull and black background then split)

  Edit > cut black (who is a master of cutting everything that needs to be transparent.) now in the Clipboard

  Put the flag in the document, paste black flag.

  Select Black punch and flag.

  Divide

  Ungroup

  Select same fill color (by selecting the black hole)

  Delete

  ALTO! Left with all the pieces that have the color of the flag.

  ALL VECTORS. Reduced file size.

  I'M A BEAST!

  I now use cookie cutter method on all the models that I had.

  and it's considerably allowing a reduced file size.

  Mainly because there is only one group, which contains all the parts

  that make up the drawing.
  With the help of text and expand on the text damaged by arches, which had created grunge effects

  large file formats.

  Maybe all that could be cleaned.

  However, this method is so easy.

• How to align the elements (groupItem) with clipping masks?

  I have a script which aligns a groupItemToBeAligned on a layer to an another referenceGroupItem on another layer, well. Problem comes when the groupItemToBeAligned consists of elements that have a clipping, masks just to help

  groupItemToBeAligned.position = referenceGroupItem.position;
  
  

  Does not work, he takes the position of all, what is the best method to align what is actually visible? I tried to use:

  var vBounds = referenceGroupItem.visibleBounds;
  x1 = vBounds[0];
  y1 = vBounds[1];
  x2 = vBounds[2];
  y2 = vBounds[3];
  groupItemToBeAligned.position = [x1, y1];
  
  

  Produces the same results unfortunately.

  Huzzah, once again! I can't express how much it helps to have the file you are editing. This version is perfectly aligned all work plans. I would like to know if you have any other questions. =)

  function align(){

• Clipping Mask reverse

  Hello

  I'm working on a simple design of a Sun. I want that all the rays of the Sun to have an as far away from the center circle. The rays are three lines which run all the way to appear at the other side of the Sun. I made the rays using lines with a heavy blow, and then I chose each line, went to the object > path > stroke outline to convert the lines into an object of four points.

  I reached equal space around the Sun by simply applying a white line around the Sun, I did as an example of what I try to achieve. Is it possible to apply a reverse clipping mask or another method to cut all the lines perfectly around the circle?

  the circle of the Sun.

  You can select all the objects and select object > break down (it can offer to break up the look in option)

  If you expand all objects you can then use Pathfinder > fracture to cut all objects on another. If you ungroup then the resulting objects, you can remove all additional thresholds that you don't need, leaving you with your rays and the Sun (note that they will be all filled objects, without hits)

  This will also cause the paths underlying rays have cut through your circle, so if you select all the "pieces" of the circle and use Pathfinder > unit you can "go back".

• race around a clipping mask

  Hello

  I have a picture, I created a circle on top of the image

  I created a mask with the transparency Panel, it's a clip mask and the image appears only inside the circle.

  My question?

  How can I have a white line around the circle?

  Thank you!!!

  Mauricio

  To add a line for the mask, do not use the transparency Panel. Use instead object > clipping mask > make. You can then select the mask outline and add your feature.

• Automatically create clipping masks

  Hello

  I was watching this incredible video-

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=ebVFXphyJqw

  - and I noticed that the flash has a characteristic, which seems to automatically create clipping masks.

  She starts using the latter at 01:45. She draws the blue traces and apply gradients of forms that use the blue paths but also underlying art.

  I did find a quick way in illustrator to do it like that. (Trace the path - divide - livepaint - new filling can produce such results, but which is too complicated for fast frame...)

  There is also a right of the service earlier this year, where it clears the circular path segments. They are cut exactly at the points of intersection. Of course there are scissors and cutting in artificial intelligence, but flash method seems to offer looks a lot more convenient.

  Maybe these functions are buried in some side menus in artificial intelligence... I mean, I have Flash CS6, but I feel a lot more comfortable in artificial intelligence.

  If you know these features, especially the thing auto mask clipping, please tell me

  Try to draw inside the mode in Illustrator.

  Regarding the cutting of access roads, try shapebuilder tool, it can also work with paths.

• Any PDF to AI > clipping masks different 1 million?

  I've been using have for about 10 years, and I meet this problem before but somehow did the trick around it. However, I would go to the bottom of him this time.

  First off this happened CS5, CS6, and CC.

  I imported a PDF file from a scanned plan thinking that I would make a few changes to line weight and color + graphics for a presentation, it is, but it is divided into a large NUMBER of different items within a clipping mask LOT different. This happens just to open a PDF file in artificial intelligence. Does anyone know why an imported PDF do that? Also, how is the best and fastest way to get it back in a few tracks. Example below.
  
  

  The PDF file is a raster image file. Each of these boxes is a single raster containing about 3 MB of data. You can use select all and then object > clipping mask > Release. You can use the object > rasterize to create a single frame of the entire file and try to use the Image path > stroke, but it will be a long-term task.

• 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?

• Clipping Mask/white strips

  OK I find better to explain/ask as an example.

  First of all, I use a clipping mask to make a diamond shape. (as below)

  

  Then, to add depth, I use the same base filled with a gradient/shadow form. I use the alignment tools to make them perfectly above the other.

  

  But here's the problem, as you can see in the end on the right that it leaves little white stripes. Everyone can't see what I am doing wrong to find it? or how can I approach it differently to didn't get it.

  simsallabim,

  You can avoid the problem by doing everything in a single step using an opacity mask.

  If you create the clip with a black/gray/white fill and no line shape, you can just:

  Click in the transparency palette flyout to make new mask with ticked Clip and invert the mask checked or unchecked, depending on how you use the color range of the clip shape to define the reducer of the underlying object.

• Adding stroke to text with a clipping mask

  I want to add a black border around the text, so it enhances the text.

  I made a rectangle and added black text above the rectangle and applied a mask and reversed and cut out the rectangle and the text.

  

  I tried to release the mask and apply a black line on the text, but when I remask and apply the clipping and reverse the race turns the same color as the text.

  Your comment "applied a mask and reversed and cut out the rectangle and the text" it seems that you use an opacity mask, not a clipping mask. Copy the text (without the mask), stick to the front, remove the fill, add line.
