biscuit Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Hi there, I'm encountering a few issues with this drawing. I'll add the file below. 1) Can't clip to stroke: I have a rounded rectangle shape with only a stroke and no fill. Tried to clip another stroked shape to this object by dragging it on top in the layers panel. It clipped in the panel, but was placed underneath without cliping on the canvas (as if a regular layer underneath). Expandend the stroke of the parent and clipping woked fine. 2) Move tool always selects object even where cropped with vector crop or 'absent' (donut hole of expanded rounded rectangle). Working in beta .24 buggy shape.afdesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may well be a positioning thing - when you're trying to drag the object to the shape you want to clip to try and place the cursor in the centre of the preview. You will see the blue bar move to indicate where it will go - you'll want the blue vertical bar. The clipped region also depends on whether the clipping object as a Stroke, Fill or Both and it will only clip to the areas that have a Stroke or Fill. See my attached file. 2. This is an issue we're already aware of. If you want to select an object that is behind another you can hold Ctrl and then click to select objects behind.

biscuit Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hi Sean, Isn't the vertical blue stroke to apply an object as a mask, equivalent to 'mask to below'? I was trying to place the thinner shadow line within another stroke, kind of like you would clip a pixel shadow layer to a vector shape (horizontal blue line). Your clipping file crashes the .25 beta when clicking te clipped elements in the layers panel. Does it look like it's supposed to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted October 19, 2016 Staff Share Posted October 19, 2016 Ahh sorry! I'm with you now. Unfortunately this is not possible to do within the software. The reason the expand works is because it takes the stroke and converts it to a 'Filled' object rather than a line with a stroke.That's strange - I've just downloaded my attachment and opened it and can select the objects without a problem! Is this a consistent crash for you? The screenshot you've attached however, does look correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biscuit Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi, Yes, it seems the new beta crashes when I select vector shapes applied as masks in other documents as well. AD is faithfully sending crash reports your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
