Clipping Mask for Layers of Illustration


Recommended Posts

I have multiple layers that have vast objects and intricate detail. In illustrator I can just set the clipping mask on top of everything and it will clip everything, really powerful feature. I tried to replicate this in AD and cannot do it. This is a huge feature for me and I would like to see if AD can handle this. How can I do this? I already tried the usual drop layers techniques shown in a tutorial video, which works great, but haven't figured this out.

UPDATE: It worked! Not sure why but the clipping mask object on top needs to be a solid filled shape and not just an outline! Which was why it didn't work at first. GOOD TO KNOW! I hope this can be fixed to where a path only with no fill can also work the same, the path only helps see the the objects underneath before you clip.
