Objects can be moved independently of their clipping mask. Objects can also be released from their clipping mask, thus revealing the whole picture.

1.Select the Object tool icon_tool_object in the Quick access toolbar.
2.Click on the object that you want to release from the clipping mask.
3.Choose the ribbon command Format | group Clipping Mask | Clipping dropdown_arrow | Remove From Clip icon_clipping_remove.

The picture is now fully visible again.

The clipping mask still exists and is to be found with a pink outline behind the picture. To remove it permanently, choose the command Convert From Clip icon_clipping_reconvert or delete the drawing frame using the Del key.

Note

Clipping masks are only displayed if the Object tool icon_tool_object is enabled.
