Draw Inside won’t work with live compound shapes
Draw Inside is great. Draw Inside lets you create a clipping mask in a fraction of the time it takes to create it with Object > Clipping mask > Make. But it's got some annoying issues.
- Draw a shape.
- Draw another shape over it.
- Make these two shapes into a compound shape.
- Select the whole compound shape.
- Draw Inside won't work.
- But you can put some other shapes under the compound shape, select them all, and do Object > Clipping path > Make.
The other case is Draw Inside doesn’t work when a clipping group is selected, requires to select its clipping mask specifically — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49065740
It'd be great to see these weird, annoying edge cases fixed someday.
