Solution: don’t use rounded rectangles in Illustrator. If I start with a circle and a square I can achieve what I need using the divide tool. A bit clunky but no artifacts. There must be issues with the rounded rectangle boolean.

Thanks, either of these solutions work for what I’m trying to achieve. Guess it was pretty simple! It was a long day 🙂

Thanks Dan! This works perfectly.

Any chance you could briefly explain how the code snippet works?

Thats what I’ve been doing…seems clunky though, is there a simpler way? Maybe a third part Mac application, etc? Maybe there isn’t…it just seems like CMYK should have its own “code” so it’s as simple as copy and paste, or a third party app that does that.

If I’m working on a project I’d like to just switch over and grab the CMYK data without click on a shape, filling, it, copying it, pasting it, creating the swatch…

Is this how everyone does it?

Wonderful. Thanks Jeff!

Here is the screen shot.

I’m Opt. clicking between the two layers. The top one as you can see is the white/highlight shape and the bottom layer is the gradient shape. There are no blending modes. When I hold option my cursor changes to a down facing arrow next to a box and then I click and it indents the top layer with an arrow facing down, the “clipping mask” after that the top layer is no longer visible. Doesn’t appear on the opaque pixels of the bottom shape.

Thanks for the reply Jeff. The second and third solution work nicely. The third one was what I was looking for although I’ll stick with the second one since its just a lot less steps. I couldn’t get the first one to work though. Opt. clicking between them creates the clipping mask but instead of clipping my highlight rectangle to the blue one, the highlight one disappears. Any idea why?

Perfect! I added a little y axis wiggle and it works wonderful! Thanks a bunch, great expression.

Hi,

I had a similar problem. When I clicked on the object with the puppet pin tool the cursor changed to white with a small white square by it and no puppet mesh showed up on the image. When I checked under effects puppet was listed but none of the options with it showed up and also I wasn’t able to add any more pins.

The layer I was trying this on had a mask, apparently the puppet tool doesn’t work with masked layers since as soon as I deleted the mask the puppet tool then worked. Check your layers to make sure there are no masks. If there are any effects or anything on the layer I’d turn them off and try the tool, do a little experimenting since something similar may be not allowing the puppet pin tool to work.

Thanks for responding,

I’m not using time remapping or the shift of precomp layer. The Expression I used for the rotation is meant to stop at 17.9 seconds on the layer which it does in my project but when I switch out of the pre-comp into the main comp it doesn’t stop rotating the wheel at 17.9 seconds, it just continues to repeat.
