Illustrator | Masking fills in the Appearance panel

[christianb5949572]

Hi,

I see this question was already asked here: https://forums.adobe.com/message/7738089#7738089 , but I'm asking again because maybe it is now possible...

Is it possible to create a clipping mask on a new fill in the Appearance panel?

Example... From this:

to this:

Thank you!

No, clipping masks must be created with objects.

Expanding on what Chad said, No, a clipping mask is not an Appearance and that’s not the right panel. In addition to objects, though, you can have a Layer clipping mask.
