- In response to a recent question from a viewer that wanted to add gaps between the segments of their doughnut chart, in this movie you'll learn how to complete a more complex clipping mask that uses compound shapes to remain editable.

Well it only took me three times to hold down the Alt key while selecting Minus Front from Pathfinder. This is an awesome walk-through. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
So much valuable information! Thanks for this (just looking for a good tut on a donut chart and learned so much more about the shape finder!)!!
Glad it was helpful!
You Sensei, are uh-mae-ziiiiiiingggg! Thank you!! i needed all of these tricks plus you are the best one explaining, so natural and easy-going, if you ever read this comment, i would like to ask for focused videos on how to use the other graph types in illustrator.
Thank you-those words are much appreciated! There will be more graph stuff coming along later, but if you really can't wait, maybe you could try out one of my infographics courses on LinkedIn Learning (designninja.tv/AiInfographics)? You don't have to have a membership-many of my courses are available off the shelf.
Good stuff man. Thanks a lot.
Hey Majid-thank you! Make sure that you subscribe for more tutorials!
Great tips! Thank you
Thanks, Braeden :)
Amazing !! As always. 😊😊😊
Thanks, Jo! If you "do" Facebook, come on over and join the TDN community-start at facebook.com/thedesignninja
Amazing! Subscribed for sure. Thanks for the tips. :)
Thank you! :)
This was extremely helpful!! If you want to click+shift+drag to make it proportionally larger, I noticed that it cuts off/the colors get messed up again-is that just the cost of doing business, or is there something I'm doing wrong?
Sorry for the huge delay in reply-I've had to be off for a few weeks. If you want to resize you must use the Scale tool to do that when working with graphs in a clipping mask.
Do you know if it is possible to create a half pie chart?
Like a rainbow style. It is possible in Excel.
ı am using Ai too, ı always hated charts. Now ı love them.. great job TDN. thanks a lot...
Hey Tugra! Well, thank you-that means so much to me, and I'm so grateful for you letting me know. Charts are still such a powerful part of Illustrator, but not the easiest of things to learn, perhaps. I'll keep on trying to unwrap them and other parts of Illustrator, so we can all be more productive, and happier with the way we work. Keep watching! :)
Superb!
Thank you! Glad you liked it-if you're not already, please be sure to subscribe! :)
Is it possible to add photos instead of colour to the segments? Thank you!
Is there any way of bringing this to InDesign? When I try to copy paste it in my indesign file the segments dissappear and it looks like normal pie chart...
Hey there. You perhaps shouldn't use copy/paste from ai to indesign for anything but the smallest of graphics-it's not the best way-and as you've discovered, some things don't work (because InDesign can't create clipping masks). Instead, save the Illustrator file (as an .ai file) and use the Place command in InDesign (under the File menu) which then keeps a live link to your .ai file so if you make any changes…
Hope that helps. :)
Very useful tutorial with flexibility in data updates. U R Z best mate!
Thank you-really happy that you've found it useful. :)
are you human or angel? British English I have always found difficult, but you changed it! :D i love this tutorial!! Thankyou so much.
Hey! Thank you for your kind words. Pretty sure I'm human right now but it's good to have goals! Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm glad that you were able to work with my accent. Take a look at my courses on LinkedIn Learning , too!

Hey. yes it does, but it's now moved over to the top right-hand-side.
