Wing:

You will have to explain a little bit more clearly. Illustrator is a program that is made for designing images and such, so you will need to provide some more detail.

What kind of image?

Is it a picture? Is it a vector drawing? Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

Are you using a clipping mask that is a rounded rectangle?

Write down all the details you think may be helpful, so I can help and I don't have to be just a smart XXX.

OK! :)

I just open the AI,

And draw a round rectangle, and draw some small vertical rectangles on the round rectangle (longer than the height of the round rectangle).

So, how can I output the rounded rectangle with the small vertical rectangles area only inside rounded one.

Sorry, I don't know how to post image in here!

Regards,

So are you trying to do this:

quite! :)

but the yellow bar should be turn to -45 degree

so it will intersect with the corner.

OK Wing:

Select only the rounded rectangle, and go to Object>Arrange>Bring to Front:



Now, select everything, and go to Object>Clipping Mask>Make, or right-click and pick "Make Clipping Mask" from the menu:



Next, use the GROUP select tool (the white arrow with a + next to it) to select ONLY the rounded rectangle, and apply a stroke to it (you can also apply a fill if you wish):



Here's the end result:



You have made a clipping mask. If you select everything, you can see it's all still there but the ends of the diagonal stripes are hidden.

Hey John, as long as I get to throw in some balanced smart XXX comments... I'll be nice.
