When I use the parallelogram as the mask, I get this:

In fact, I want the reversal of this:

I imitated that some do the white parallelogram, but how would I do that using cutting masks?

Make an opacity mask, not a clipping mask.

  • How to cut a shape from a direct effect of Scribble

    Hello

    I would like to cut a shape from a rectangle with the scribble effect applied so that the background shows through. Attached file.

    I use pathfinder to subtract the shape, but it does not give me the result I want like bleeding of drawing freehand in shape, I am cutting out.

    Someone know how to do this or can suggest a better method? The effect I'm trying to achieve is a large area of chalk that has a clean shot from a rubber of Blackboard through it. I'm just experimenting with a form of star at the moment.

    Is the problem that the scribble effect is applied to the whole layer or the entire compound path resulting pathfinder subtract?

    Thank you

    Luke.

    1. Draw a rectangle that is larger than your Freehand drawing. (regardless if it is filled or not)
    2. Draw the shape of Star, you want to knock out. (ditto)
    3. Select both, object (menu)-> compound path-> make
    4. Choose your Freehand drawing and the compound path, making sure that the track is in front
    5. object->-> make a clipping mask

    Something to change the mask after the fact - use the direct selection (white arrow) while pressing alt/option to select the star.

  • Helps the cut and fill

    In the past (10 years and more) I could have sworn that when I cut a shape with a fill the filling would leave, feel that a form that was not closed could not have a fill... all of a sudden when I cut a form and he says not closed, he still keeps filling. I had a stroke... it was always this way or did, I hit a button command that I've never seen before! Help

    When FH imports an Illustrator's document shows fills to open paths imported as Illustrator.

    If you want to remove the fill of these paths, you must set the fill to 'none '.

    Open newly created curvilinear fillings are controlled by preference

    Preferences > object > see fill it open avenues.

    I suspect that this verified by accident.

    Since the installation of El Capitan, my streaming to my Audioengine DAC D2 cut after 12 minutes (the default duration of sleep). It will restart by pressing the space bar. When I change the duration of sleep, the cut outs are becoming more frequent and intermittent. Help?

    I checked the wifi and changed frequency (new modem, frequency change made no difference). The Board battery seems fine - all updates well. My computer is an iMac (2011), 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, with a new AMD Radeon graphics card. I recently installed a State strong 1 TB SATA drive and fitted with a LaCie Porsche 4 to USB for backup and a 4TB disk storage RAID LaCie drive.

    I'm frustrated, having to come in my computer since my living room every 12 minutes to continue to listen to Spotify on my stereo system.

    My guess is there a bug in the software of sleep in El Capitan, which disrupts his (I've tried different USB ports connect the Audioengine sender and same thing).

    Should I go back to Yosemite?

  • The cutting tool does not scroll

    The cutting tool is a very nice feature, but only as long as you can get the entire area you want to cut at the same time on the screen.  I'm not aware of any way to scroll a page of text that is longer than the screen.  Are there tricks to do this?

    Hi Jaander,

    Snipping Tool can only be used as a capture of screen, or snip, of any object you see on your screen.  Thus, the cutting tool cannot scroll. You may need to scroll down the screen and then use the tool.

  • The cutting tool does not work after windows updates.

    I read answers to similar questions about the failure of the cutting tool.  I use the tool cutting regularly and I think it's a fantastic tool in Windows. I have Vista Ultimate and all my windows updates have managed: none were not installed correctly, and I did not install new programs or hardware.  It seems that Microsoft knows the snipping tool does not - why can't they simply provide an update patch to correct the problem, rather than make us do all the work.  I don't have to go through hoops of restorations etc to get something it seems work was broken by updates.  I'm about to go to a Mac.

    It worked for me! Thank you!

  • The cutting tool not working anymore... :-(__It was my favorite thing...

    For some reason my Snipping Tool no longer works. I clicked and 10 or 20 seconds, and I get the error: the cutting tool does not work on your computer right now. Restart your computer, and then try again. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator.

    I did a scan of the disc, and the Tablet PC optional components meet. (Enabled).

    This is a dell computer that came preloaded, so I don't think that I can recreate the cutting tool of a disc. ALSO... mysteriously, my tool of Windows Live Mail has decided to not SEND email at the same time.

    I have chased google and hope you can help. It's me MISSING.

    Roxie 1117

    Suggestions:

    1. If it is possible: to do a system restore. Choose the date free snipping worked as your restore point.

    Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
    To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.

    2. start > Search box, type system32 (that's a Word) > Enter > system32-box right, superior search window type SnippingTool.exe (that's a word too).
    Don't you see that SnippingTool.exe appears?
    If so, click it or PIN to the Start Menu or the desktop (create shortcut).

  • The cutting tool will work with Windows XP?

    I love the tool cutting for Windows Vista. Microsoft makes a similar tool for WinXP, or is the tool that is compatible with this OS?

    Hi NewYogie,

    Microsoft does not have a cutting tool for XP, but there are a number of tools out there like Snagit. If you do a search for XP the cutting tool , you are sure to find something useful.

  • The cutting tool are not sent Snip to the e-mail recipient.

    The cutting tool are not sent Snip of recipient of mail on Windows Live Mail 2011.  Had worked on earlier versions.  Click on the send Snip button, and nothing happens.

    A couple of things you could try.

    Launch the tool captures via a right click on it and select 'run as administrator '.

    See if the uninstallation and reinstallation of the Snipping Tool makes a difference.

    This is a quote from Ronnie Vernon.

    "Try refreshing the Snipping Tool installation. This tool is part of the Tablet PC optional components in Windows Vista.

    Open Control Panel, click Classic view in the task pane.

    Double-click programs and features.

    Click on the 'activate Windows features and turn off' in the task pane.

    This window may take a few minutes to display.

    When the options appear in the list, scroll to the "Tablet PC Optional Components" and remove the check mark for this element.

    Click OK, quit everything and restart the computer.

    This allows to uninstall the "Snipping Tool" System.

    Once the computer restarts, go back to the Panel and repeat the same procedure.

    This time the check box adds the "Tablet PC Optional Components".

    This will install these components in the system with a new copy of all the files. »
