Opacity Mask Won't Export with Artboard

I have an opacity mask applied for a distressed look. Whenever I "Export As" a png and select the Artboard checkbox, it ignores the opacity mask and exports without that layer at all (see image 1).

 

However, if I don't select the Artboard checkbox and just the effect of the opacity mask is maintained in export (see image 2).

 

How can I maintain the opacity mask and export the entire artboard?

Thanks for sending over a screenshot with the arrow. Without that, I don't think I would have found the problem. Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes.

I haven't been able to recreate this problem on my end. Can you share the file with us?

How did you do the «distressed look»? – can't see any of these vector/pixel images inside the file or opacity masks!

-> first of all – the Font/Shapes are not shapes, only single strokes – that could B one of the 100 reasons.

 

Works fine here with regular/correct Shapes/Mask to export.

Intersting. You don't see the transparency mask when you click on the top layer?

It's a lot easier to solve this.

1. Use Save for Web (Legacy) instead of Export as

or

2. Create a new layer and move the existing layer inside of it as a sublayer

Creating a new layer and putting it inside another worked!
Why this even is an issue beats me.. I mean, working with AI is 20% stumbling over a problem or a missing feature, 50% looking for workarounds and 30% actual creating..
