Completely agree.. end of 2020 and this is still needlessly obscure. User experience not top of Adobe's priority list.. I'm liking that some competitors are becoming more popular now, due to these examples of unintuitive workflow and other inefficiencies Adobe bake into their expensive products.
@@unreal9823 they don't want anything to be too easy, or to work like their other programs. Photoshop and illustrator layers/groups should work alike but they have to be different, because they didn't come from the same company originally. I spent lots of time learning Freehand, then Adobe bought it and killed it in favor of Illustrator.
I'm in an Illustrator class, and even my teacher couldn't remember how to turn a group into a clipping mask. Thank you for solving a design problem I was facing.
Thank you sooooooooo much! I have been struggling to do shading on a flower with grouped petals for days!!! After watching tons of videos, your's was the first to explain the compound path as the solution. You have officially saved my sanity. :)
SERIOUSLY??? Been struggling with thing for a week now... Got me frstrated, had to seek unyeilding alternatives. Thank You Sir, I appreciate. However, I want to make a clipping mask with a line grid tool that allows me to collor individual cells seperately. Any tips? I tried the steps in the video but I could only color the whole grid as one. I want to be able to color per cell.
What if you're clipping a group with a group, wherein the group that the mask is applied to consists of multiple layers with different fill and stroke colors?
How can I take a whole group of things, with grouping intact, and use a clipping mask to crop it? When I try to do this, Illustrator takes things out of folders, or groups or whatever they call them. It destroys my hierarchy. Thanks.
This is good but it doesn't work for shapes that subtract from one another. For example, I have a circle that subtracts another circle in a group, but when I create a compound path from them, the path includes both circles. So I can't use this as a clipping mask.

Such a simple concept that Adobe made so unintuitive for no reason, as usual. Thanks so much!

Greetings! I haven't tested this yet, but would be interesting to try.

Thanks for the reply. I figured out. The feature is called Group Clip.
@@IllusionSector Great to hear!
Thanks
Definitely! 🙌

Hi Donald! Appreciate the comment. I haven't tested this, but I will let you know if/when I do. Thanks for stopping by!
@@ChrisMorenoDesign I had to regroup things once I got things into a clipping group, then renamed everything, but what a pain.
Tks!!!
You are very welcome!
Salvou!
