assets export panel assets with clipping paths not exporting correctly.

I have a simple image with a clipping mask applied. I can either choose to add it to the new Assets Export panel or select it and right click and choose export selections. Either way, the exported PNG (in this case) does not crop to the clipping path. The image being masked is what is setting the exported PNG size with transparency to the clipping mask shape. See the attached image. Masked out one pastry from a large group but the export is surrounded by transparency that is the size of the masked image and not the size of the circle mask.

Anyone have a solution for this?

    This is blocking me from relying on and using Asset Export feature. I have masked images and vector art in multiple artboards (mobile app design). I would like to define parts of artboards as assets to be exported easily once the design is completed. Clipping mask should be considered as border, not only in Asset Export, but also in other image/art exporting features.

    I am having a similar issue.  When I export my image using "Export As" with a clipping mask applied and check "Use Artboards", the exported image completely disregards the clipping mask, revealing the excess artwork that should have been hidden behind the mask.

    What happened Adobe??

    BUMP. Not having the option to use asset export with clipping paths is killing me.

      Yup, that bug is killing me and is a MAJOR oversight. This bug needs to be bumped up to CODE RED and fixed NOW!

        My expectation of the Asset Export function in Illustrator (I have CC version 2015.3.1 installed) is to remove the masked area and crop the object to the edges of the mask.

        I am struggling to find a reason anyone would want the masked area included in the exported file.

        Photoshop's Image Generate crops the exported layers to the layer mask. It makes sense that Illustrator Asset Export should do the same with masked objects.

        Get on it Adobe! And don't send me to the Feature Request page; I'm already onto it.

          So tried again today with the new updates and still see that the Asset Export feature is working or has been addressed for masked items. Looks like nothings changed. I did also try changing the format settings for PNG to see if that worked and found an added issues. Simply changing the background color from transparency to Black exports with a white background.

          @Adobe - But more important the transparency masked items are still exporting with the size of the masked image and not to the size of the mask itself. Let us know if we're missing something here but it's really a big issue for what I think could be a killer feature. Right now it's keeping our team away from your software.

          Here are some screenshots of the settings and output asset....

            +1. Illustrator also ignores the clipping mask for Slices (the previous feature).

            My workaround for slices was to click-through to the clipping mask and then choose: Slice from Selection. Then at least it uses the clipping mask for the slice – which is actually how it should work.

            Also, in the "NEW" feature of Asset Export. You can't drag let's say 20 items to the Asset panel, because they are added as one item then. Perhaps there should be a "add individually" option.

            Also, if you update the artwork in the clipping mask it DOES NOT update the Asset in the Export Panel. Highly annoying.

            Back to slices we go.

            Maybe they updated that later on because when I change colour or refine bezier curve according asset in the panel will actually update (yay!). But still no clue how to force AI to ignore the transparency in the bounding box for asset definitions (crap!)

            I'm having the same issue, and have the same thoughts as martijnhoppenbrouwer and INDUSTRY11. Adobe, please fix!

            I tried creating an asset export from illustrator and trim action in Photoshop workflow with mild success (only was pixel perfect on 1:1, but 2x and 3x etc ended up with issues) and took three times longer than how we all feel it should work.

              Hi Monika,

              Yes, my main Windows workstation I was on yesterday was updated earlier this week, and I also tried right now on my Macbook with the same results.

              I can't even trim in PS after because of the antialiasing/compression along the clipping mask edge even with 100% jpeg. PNGs will trim slightly better, but they still end up a pixel or two off.

              I have the exact same problem. Why would i want to export a clipped object with more useless transparency beyond the clipping mask?

              @Adobe: I think this a bug and should be fixed asap - we're here on a deadline too and all the work-arounds even take more time, than manually cropping all assets in photoshop (which is a waste of time). Hope to see this fixed very soon - The idea and concept of the asset-export tool is very promising, but currently useless(!) for all clipped artwork (and we use this ALOT).
