How do I keep the top object of a clipping mask (the clipping path) maintain its outline? Every time I make a clipping mask, it gets removed, and I have to go into Layers, make active the clipping path and reapply the outline, manually - any annoying extra few steps.

Select the things that you want to put inside the mask.

Select the mask.

Press Shift * D twice. You should get into Draw inside mode
