Clipping masks get released when document is reopened
When I reopen a document with clipping masks the masks are released. It is very frustrating remaking all photos each time I open to make edits.

Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

I have a similar issue. If I place a pdf plot generated by R in illustrator 2020 ai file. The "release clipping masks" function does not work. The function works in the previous illustrator version. Please let me know how to fix this.

It happens exactly the same with me. But it's random, not with all documents and not with all masks inside a document. This is happening since the upgrade to Illustrator 24.1

Hello. I'm not sure if this is just an "operator error" or if this is a bug in the new Illustrator 2020, but every time I reopen my AI file the clipping masks have been removed. Is there a fix for this? It started happening when I updated to 2020.
Thanks in advance!
