: How can I crop everything outside of an art board in Illustrator? I've got a very complex texture that I have running WAY over the art board and I need to clean it up for a client. How

@Debbie163

If you want it in photoshop id save it in GIF or PNG since wokking paths wont be useful in photoshop anyway and this will corp everything beyond an artboard off + preserve transparency.

I would make a rectangle the same size as the artboard and turn it into a clipping mask.

To do this, group together all the layers you wish to trim by selecting them and entering command+g. Next, make a rectangle with the same dimensions as your artboard, and center horizontally and vertically. With the rectangle layer in front, select both objects, enter command+7, or go to object>clipping mask>make, and voila. You will only see the parts within the dimensions of the rectangle. Simply double-click the new object to access the clipped information or enter command+alt+7 to get rid of the clipping mask.
