Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video Masking a pattern inside a background, part of Illustrator CS6 One-on-One: Intermediate.
In this movie, I'll show you how to place the wavy yellow engraving lines inside of …this yellow box, using what's known as a clipping mask. …Now I'll be devoting an entire chapter to the topic of clipping masks in the advanced …course in the series, but this will give you an early taste of what's going on. …So here's how it works. It's little bit weird but what you want to do is twirl open the …ticket layer here inside Layers panel, then go ahead and scroll down, and you'll find …this box item right there. …And that is a yellow rectangle that we are going to use as a container, and then we've …got the engraving lines that are located below, and those are the lines that we created in the previous movie.…
When you're creating a clipping mask, the thing that's going to do the masking needs …to be on top. Fortunately, that's the way things are arranged for us. …The next thing we want to do is meatball the engraving path, and then shift meatball the …rectangle which goes by the name box, so that they're both selected. …
