I need to crop some parts in Illustrator CS, but there is only the lasso tool, which is not accurate. How come there is no tool like marquee? The knife tool? But it keep saying that use on a segment or anchor point, i point at the anchor point also cannot. sweat.gif

to relase the crop or mask shortcut is ctrl + alt 7. If anything wrong wif the masking release and do it again. remember it must be the topest layer.

Forgot the step, b4 you press ctrl 7 select the thing u wan to crop or mask and the shape on top.

after select them onli press ctrl 7
