Applying Clipping Groups

[Andrej]

Hey,

 

I asked this question a while ago in the adobe forum, but I never got a reply. So I'll try my luck here.

 

I'd like to have a feature to "apply" clipping groups. Let's take several shapes and combine them into a clipping group (see attachments 1 & 2). The apply operation would have the following result:

 

-children which are actually intersecting with the clipping path are intersected (standard boolean operation)

--children which are not available for intersect-operations remain in the clipping group

 

-children outside the clipping path are deleted

 

-children completely inside the path will remain unaffected

 

It would be a great feature, especially when you decide to clip whole artworks or cutting them apart.
