    Hi, can someone please tell me how to set the clip or mask on a bezier line?ย  I was adding bezier lines and in the object menu the CM column shows the icon as in the attached bezier_with_cm .ย  Now when I add a bezier line (and I don't know what I did) the CM icon is not showing in the object menu.ย  I tried clicking on 'set clip' and 'set mask' and I cannot get this icon to show.ย  How do I get this to show?

    Thank you,

    Darryl

    Please use shapes (closed paths) not separate lines for clipping. And Masking expects color filled shapes and is based on values: White=100% opaque/visible and Black=100% transparent/invisibleย and all in-between varies accordingly.
