To select lines within a clipping mask

• It is possible to select a segment of a path between two points outside their clipping mask?

  I have a way with 3D rotation effect tends in a clipping mask. In the Preview mode (Ctrl + Y), most of the road is not the clipping mask, but most of the visible inside the mask in normal view because of the 3D effect turns. I want to select and remove a segment of the path between two points outside the clipping path, but Illustrator does not select the components of access outside their clipping mask path.

  Anyway is to do without for as much free mask?

  ALWAYS indicate the version you are using. Regulars here using one of the six different versions of Illustrator. Assuming that the current version:

  White pointer: marquee select around a portion of the original route which is located in the clipping mask.

  OR

  Black hand: select the object. Make a right click the object. Select isolate selected in the popup clipping mask.

• 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.

• Failure of clipping mask

  Hi, I just received a poster at the back of the printer and I noticed the edge of the printed work clipping mask. The graphics included in an image (placed in CMYK tiff format) and plain vector graphics on top in some areas.  I had a white rectangle (brought to the foreground) from left to right (at the edge of the page) on the image, then I gathered all the elements (white rectangle always at the front) and created a clipping mask (a rectangle rounded corners) about 1 cm inside the page to keep everything tidy. When the white rectangle on the image and the border of the poster are gathered there is a hairline of the color of the image. The full view of the page, I could see the line but when I zoomed close uber, he disappeared (even in the PDF file).  I've seen things appear a little asymmetrical in PDF files high resolution before even when you know they are aligned properly so I sure don't worry it was just preview incorrectly. Anyhoo! hope I have explained this Ok... can anyone suggest why it happened or how to create the work properly. Cheers, Sarah

  I think I know what you're talking about. A bit of the image a leak in front of the white box.

  Should not have caused a problem, but he did. Sorry about that.

  I faked it your problem. When I did the following, showed nothing of the image in front of the white box, in Illustrator or Acrobat:

  1. draw a big box that surrounds the work

  2. Select this and the white box, make a compound path

  3. Select this and the image, make a clipping mask.

  4. now bring your round corner rectangle to the front.

  5 Select all, make a clipping mask.

  Hope this helps

• 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.

• How can I change a something in an envelope (in a clipping mask) without releasing either

  Here is my file I.  http://hqgraphicdesign.com/editTheEnvelopeContentsHow-ChrisKortjohn.ai

  
  In the document bound are 4 groups of 2 or 3 forms.  envelope mesh gradient distorted within a clipping mask is the one on the left.  I need to try a lot of different gradients to see how they look distorted in order to release it and again it will be tedious.  I just click on look look-click click on watch by the nuances of gradient.  I know that I can use Recolor work to change colors even if there is an envelope.  But I want to be able to change things in an envelope just as you can change things in a clipping mask, because I know that the data is always there, no way to use it?

  How? pray tell

  Thank you community

• Does not clipping mask

  Okay, so I'm VERY new to this (I started about an hour ago!) I'm doing a mask of clipping with the mask being the outline of the France and the image inside the French pavilion. Here are the steps I've taken so far:

  File > new

  Open > Silhouette of France (photo)

  Trace as silhouette picture > Expand.

  Drag the new file.

  Open > French flag (photo)

  Drag the new file and put in a layer separated the silhouette.

  Place the figure on top of the French flag, select all, do a clipping mask.

  Then everything goes white! I can still see the outline, paths etc. of the silhouette, but I just do not understand what I am doing wrong! If someone could explain it to me in simple terms it would be amazing because I don't really know what I'm doing!

  I would add the photos that I use and the end result I get...

  

  SoBo,

  Parts of France appear to be a group rather than a compound path. It would be better that you could expand the layers completely, by expanding the group.

  As I said, an opacity mask can be more forgiving and work with a group.

  I took the parts of France to have any respect and a white fill, otherwise, you can give one (or a black fill), then (the mask Invert suggested in post #2 was based on a black fill, sorry):

  (1) select the two parts of the France and the object > group or object > compound mask > make;

  (2) select all and in the appearance palette flyout, click make some with ticked Clip opacity mask and mask Invert unchecked (checked if the filling is black).

  The op:

  Drag the new file and put in a layer separated the silhouette.

  To be in the same layer, just have a layer and file > place the flag inside image, then the image of the France and go from there.

• 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.

• Why won't the (attached) clipping mask

• Comment saved a clipping mask only my selection

  Hello

  Please tell me how do once mysele ction realize on a salvage picture I want. I round then realize my d 'until clipping' mask to the ok. Then cannot be registered as my only selection? ex: UN time recorded takes of my selection, my also the rest on white background. I would like as my selection... Thank you pour your help

  Freddyboss,

  If I (put) understand it, the clipping mask simply hides the parts outside, do not crop the image/artwork.

  If you want to get rid of the external parts, you can do so by other means for vector graphics, such as Pathfinder operations or other similar means.

  If you want to crop the images, you can use Photoshop, or do the dirty work of destructive, with the selected clipping mask:

  (1) in the drop-down list the palette/Panel transparency list select everything except Normal (Multiply is fine; this step may not be necessary in your version, you can try without him).

  (2) object > flatten transparency, just keep the defaults including 100% vector.

  (3) thrill.

  That's all (images raster to the Clipping Path bounding box) cultures.

• Clipping Mask produces jagged lines

  Hello

  Why is it sometimes a clipping mask product jagged lines? I know not if there is a dark background and a session with a light above it, what is happening. is there a solution to clear this out when you apply a mask? You can see in the screenshot I circled where you see jagged lines and in the layers palette, you can see the clipping mask object. If someone can explain to me, I would appeciate it.

  Thanks to a bouquet.

  

  gradientmush,

  But if it behaves like a clipping mask, what is the difference between the two then to have these two features?

  There are differences in behavior, but in many cases, can be used, and it seems that Opcity mask is not the issue.

  You can use them as opposites: the clipping mask to show what is behind him, the opacity mask to show that this is not.

  This means that paths to use are complementary. If want to show part of a target object that is behind a circle, you can:

  (1) use this circle as a Clipping Path in a clipping mask, or

  (2) create a rectangle behind the circle big enough to cover the entire target object and cut out the circle of him creating a compound path (object > compound path > Make or Pathfinder > less before) and allows to hide what is outside the circular hole.

  You can use white or black for the object used for the opacity mask and mask invert checked or ticked. It is always simple/more safe to use white is easier because it is unambiguous (a black RGB is very good because it is R = G = B = 0, but in CMYK mode, you must have = M = Y = K = 100).

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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".
