powerclip contents will just disapear!

I have found that using  "center contents" is not conductive to my style of design. Objects are usually at the correct X-Y positioning before I powerclip them.

This  is definatly a glitch.  This project has been in process for quite a while and the powerclip contents had been there for several days. It was not only the powerclip contents but some of the fills outside the powerclip.

I had to open the backup file and copy paste to restore the document.  I get this 2 or 3 times a year and so its not a major concern but it does happen. I do know of other designers that it has happend to. If it happens again I will send you the CDR and the backup so you can see exactly what happend.

Me too, I never use it, but I do the question because this option move the content

But, more than this, I'm interest to find the origin of the problem, so this allows to find a solution if it happens the next time. For example, we know that we can use an open curve to do a powerclip, but sometimes the curve is closed and the solution is not so easy: select all nodes with the Shape Tool (F10) and choose "invert direction" from the Propierty Bar. Also, if the container is a text, you can convert it to curves. Sometimes an effect such as a lens or transparency can cause problems with powerclip.

Wow, Ariel......................you just made my day.

In all these years, I never knew that you could powerclip inside an open curve!!!!

Wonderful. I absolutely love learning something new. Cool beans.

Thank you very much.

I was working inside one powerclip and after I was finished it was the other powerclips that had the problem along with the objects around the powerclip. The fills were gone on the objects outside the powerclip. I did have a transparency on top of the powerclip but not on all the objects that went blank.
