Greetings folks, I am hoping someone out there can put me out of my misery. The issue is as follows:
Designing with Illustrator CS2, I wish to cut a graphic using my Roland GX-24 that is essentially the perimeter of a complex shape containing a checkerboard within. What do I mean.
For example, I wish to take the shape of a tribal flame and fill the inside of it with a checkerboard. I just cannot figure out how to do it via Illustrator without having the checkerboard appear outside the confines of the flame's perimeter. Although I can make what I am looking for appear on the screen by using Illustrator's clipping mask command, it does not do the trick. If I do a clipping mask then cut, the entire checkerboard is cut rather than just the section within the perimeter of the flame's path.
Hopefully someone can provide me with the solution.
Thanks Fred
