Pathfinder crop

[jant10441247]

Try to use the pathfinder crop. I wonder whether the pathfinder only works for the shape. I have object created all by line and text. Then I used create outline and group it. Next I use that object to create the seamless pattern. In the final stage, I want to use the pathfinder to crop the extended line out of board, but it won't work. What should I do? Tks.

Could you please post a screenshot or two of what you are trying to do?

Try to use the clipping mask!

select all lines make them as a group by CTRL + G, make a rectangle on the existing artboard, select both then use the mouse right click to choose make clipping mask. or use the shortcut CTRL + 7.

Before using the Crop feature in Pathfinder.

1. Select your Lines (Stroke)

2. Object>Path>Outline Stroke

3. Select objects and Apply "Crop" feature from Pathfinder Panel

Working on...but the problem is the text outline disappear...It is kind of working, but not really...Do I need to create outline first included the text font?

Yes, do these steps before you define "pattern".

1. Select Outlined Text + Line

2. Object>Expand

3. Make sure you put Object on top (square, etc) – Apply "Crop" in Pathfinder Panel

Tks. It works. Fine...I did not expand ..just create outline looks work..Plus I did the object path outline has to do this. If not, it won't work. Tks.

Pathfinder works with shapes and not strokes. You will need to outline the stroke before using it!
