Editing a Clipping Set
After you create a clipping set, you can edit the clipping mask or the paths within the clip-
ping set. At the same time you edit a clipping mask, you can add or remove an object from
the masked artwork. You can also view and edit the mask independently of all other ob-
jects in Isolation Mode. When you're editing a clipping set, the main thing to remember
is that the clipping mask object needs to be above the object that you want to mask in the
Layers panel or group.
Edit a Clipping Set
Do one of the following to select the clipping path or set:
• Select and target the clipping path in the Layers panel.
• Select the clipping set, click the
Object
menu, point to
Clipping Mask
, and
then
Edit Mask
.
Do any of the following to edit the clipping mask:
• Select the
Direct Selection
tool on the Tools panel, and then drag the object's
center reference point to move it.
• Select the
Direct Selection
tool on the Tools panel, and then reshape the clip-
ping path.
• Apply a fill and stroke to a clipping path.
To add or remove an object from the masked artwork, drag the object into or out
of the group or layer that contains the clipping path.
