• 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.

• 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

• Objects of the library in Illustrator CC 2015 NOT clipping masks?

  The functionality of dynamic links in Illustrator CC 2015 library is cool. However, our internal wired kit includes a number of model objects that are used at best when they can be dragged and edited as a specific instance. The process was EASY on the iteration of 2014. Unfortunately, now, all the objects are nested inside the clipping masks, requiring at least 4 distinct steps to clean before they can be customized.

  Is this a bug? Can it be fixed?

  Thank you!

  Try to use the Opt (Alt) key when you drag.

• 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.

• Images in the clipping in Illustrator CC mask missing in PDF

  I've attached a screenshot of a thumbnail of a pdf that I got from a printer. The red zone is supposed to contain an image. I have cultivated the image using a clipping mask. There are several pages where my cut image is missing (see another screenshot - it is not red in the second picture, because it is not a miniature), but there are a few pages where an image cut is not missing.

  When I opened the pdf file there is a message indicating an error exists in the page. I do a correlation that the error is related to my clipping mask images.

  Anyone has any ideas for troubleshooting?

  

  In fact, the problem rested in the transmission of the file to the printer. The printer should return the pdf I by Member. Somehow the file acquired errors because of the way in which it was transmitted.

• 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.

• image sizes for the photo and moodboards clipping masks

  Hello

  I place images/photos to the web and Pinterest on my plans to work in Illustrator for both mood/inspiration cards as well to use with clipping masks.

  Should I adjust the size of the image files in photoshop before placing them so that my illustrator file does not become too large?

  Or can I use object > rasterize > and choose the resolution/ppi to do the same thing?

  Thank you

  Of course, you must define your own strategies for these questions according to your needs. Sure raster image data, excess will swell your files unnecessarily, but according to the availability of extra storage space in your computing environment and your ultimate output intent, may not be worth the extra time and effort for the goal-size things in Photoshop before placement. Only you can decide that priority. If the images are 'of the web and Pinterest', chances are, they are already low-resolution, and you would not shave number of bytes out of them anyway.

  Or can I use object > rasterize > and choose the resolution/ppi to do the same thing?

  N ° which is designed for elements vector rasterize at your chosen resolution. It will not change the resolution to something that is already rasterized.

• help with a clipping mask

  I have this item and I want to add a background behind him with the clipping mask so that nothing shows up outside of my my object (bible). I went through tutorials and that works, but it never works when using this object. Can anyone watch and help with why it doesn't work.

  Here is a link to my file have Dropbox - TestIcon.ai

  Essentially trying to keep the Red inside the mask of the bible, so I can use it on my icopn bar tabe.

  Thank you

  Nick

  I'm still not clear about what you are trying to achieve because there is nothing red in your illustration. But what rcraighead said, I guess that great shape selected in your screenshot is the object that you want to use as your mask and that you want to fill with red and you want to be able to see through the mask to the illustration of the book...

  You'll need duplicate large form and make sure that it is on top of all your other items. Follow the instructions in rcrighead. If you do not want the shadow to be filled with red, do not reproduce them; just put on top.

• 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.

• 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?

  Thank you!

  2. All put together that you want to be in this context.
  3. Group them
  4. Move them to the location you want them finally
  5. Cut them into your editing table
  6. Select the target image
  7. Change > passed in

• Problem with the clipping mask

• 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.

  

• Draw a clipping mask from the back/Above with applied?

  Hello

  
  Not sure if this question has already been resolved but I have CS6 and I always encountered this. In general, when I start a vector illustration, I tend to draw the outline of the object and use it as the clipping mask.

  Then I add details within the clipping mask by creating a new "paths/objects/etc" but the "'out of the back/above" feature does not work. " The new "paths/objects/etc" moves automatically to the top of the layer above the clipping mask, and I always have to drag in the clipping mask.

  Maybe I've done this wrong all the way through but its just something that I feel like I need to ask.

  
  Thank you!

  If the clipping mask is already there?

  In this case would want to try the isolation mode.
