Re: How to make clipping mask with text and vector pattern?

Eric,

As I (mis)understand it, you can either keep the Type live (or outline it) and:

1) Create one copy of the pattern for each Type object (this will give you the opportunity of having different(ly coloured) patterns;

2) For each Type object, select the type object and one of the patterns and Object>Clipping Path>Make;

or you can:

1) Select both Type objects and Type>Create Outlines, then Object>Compound Path>Make;

2) Select the compound object and the pattern and Object>Clipping Path>Make.
