Creating white fill Illustrator clipping mask?

Hi all

So basically I have designed the top of a paper airplane and have completed the design of albums that I now want to staple in the model using the clipping mask. I used it exactly how it is supposed to"

1. first get my form I want to use to cut exactly how I want it

2 getting my image I want to place my form first using the clipping mask with

3. align in place and bring my "form" in front and the picture on the back

then using the selection tool I select all objects, and then click

objects > clipping mask > make

and for some reason any he clips but the image that I have wastring to clip becomes just a white fill...

I have no idea how repair this and its driving me crazy, I can't find a soloution no matter how long I try to repair or do a search...

I've included a few screenshots below

If you cannot fill the form of cutting, then most likely it isn't a closed path, but several paths. May be grouped together. Of your screenshots, I can't say. You must display it in the layer panel.

According to what it actually is, you need then to dissociate the it or to not composed it then join multiple paths.

And of course, you should read the manual.

  • Create a clipping mask and insert multiple Images, forms, blending options

    I am able to do this in Illustrator, but I try to understand how to do this in InDesign.

    In InDesign - after I created a custom shape (clipping mask) with the pen tool I drop an image inside the shape (CMD + D).
    However, I would like to add other forms or images in this clipping mask and set the blending options. How does this in InDesign?

  • Help with a set of cut in an image/clipping mask

    Hello.

    I need to cut out circles in an image so that the background shows through. A bit like a clipping mask reverse... but I don't know if existing ones...  And once I have cut holes in the image I need to put on a mask of clipping on all this, so that only a part of the image is always on display with the cutting parts.

    Or I guess if I could find a way to create a weird shape clipping mask that would work as well.

    The image below is something like what I'm trying to accomplish just different image and the different sizes and locations of the cutting edge.

    bonnierod,

    If I understand correctly, in the right way, you can:

    (1) create the basic shape of the Clipping Path (the path to use for the clipping mask)

    (2) create cuts on top of it,

    (3) select) 1 and 2) and Pathfinder > less before.

    (Apply 4) 3).

  • 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.

  • Files bridge Illustrator creates a clipping mask.

    I'd do it stay use B Ridge as a library for my Illustrator files. Only when I supported on SHIFT key when you drag an illustrator file in my document (Illustrator), he translated my work in a plan cutting mask. Anyone have a solution?

    I work in Adobe Illustrator CS5. Thnk you.

    The problem is not in the economy, but dragging your works of art to bridge in an open file. This way you do not open a .ai, but integrate the .pdf file. He will always be in a clipping mask, because that's the way, PDF are treated when it is placed. Use the library of symbols like Kurt suggested.

  • 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

  • Clipping mask on a new appearance Panel fill?

    Hey gang.


    I was wondering if this is possible: I created an object in Illustrator and in the appearance Panel, a new filling.

    Is it possible to add a clipping mask for the new fill so as not the original object?


    B.

    No, it is not, you will need to expand appearance if you have 2 separate forms.

    The closest thing is below, but I get the opposite effect. The filling of magenta turn into a circle Elipse, transform recanters circle, an opacity of 0% and with knockout group work together for mask, but the effect is opposite of what you asked.

  • 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.

    Or the new tool join path (CC 20141)

    Or try the clever graphic plugin dynamic sketch

  • 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)

    1.JPG

    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.

    2.JPG

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Screenshot (39).png

    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!

    Screenshot (40).png

    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.

  • Gradients to InDesign in Illustrator without clipping masks

    A customer created their logo in InDesign and there a lot of gradients and transparency involved.

No work around? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Can I create a clipping on an another clipping mask mask?

    I want to fill a range of Layer 3 on a layer2.

    Is it impossible? It would be useful if it is feasible.

    A workaround can be convert "Layer 2" and "Layer 3"to a smart object and a clipping in that mask.

    A completely different structure with groups and application layer or layer masks can be another option.
