I will try it out
I have the first three apps

well, I don't really have any big problems
with the way VS does it

Please do that. Point of note: in all programs I have mentioned, you don't necessarily have to convert to curves the clipping mask.

Tried the clipping Mask/Shape Editing in the other programs in the meantime

Found Affinity Designer the easiest and most clearly arranged

Will make videos about how all three work

@Subpath Thank you so much for your tireless efforts and commitment in making VS greater.

@William-Kansepa

gladly
Well, I think VS is a program with a great potential ( love the Features)
and I'm happy to support the developer ( which I admire a lot ).

Basically I don't have a big problem with the clipping mask/shape handling in VS
if you want to transform the clipping shape separately from the content.

But i have to admit that it is not such an ideal solution that you have to transform
the clipping shape into curves first. And thus a Parametric Shape is lost.

It would be more ideal if you could do this without converting to curves.

Here is a Video of how 3 other Programs do it.
I show the programs in this order:
Affinity Designer, Xara and CorelDraw
In all three you don't have to convert the shape to curves first.

@Subpath Disabling 'Transform Content' from the app's context menu should do this locking of the objects inside containers.

(But it shouldn't be disabled by default).

@b77

Does this already work ?

had tried but does not seem to work

@Subpath It doesn't at this time, but I suggested in the other thread that it should work for clipping containers.
