Creation: Select two or more graphics. One of the graphics should be “on top of” or “in front of” the others. Choose Object->Group->Mask Group (Shift-Command-E).

Modification: Scaling, rotating, or skewing the Mask Group modifies the included graphics. The included graphics are not individually editable.

Effects: Stroke and Fill can be added but have no visual effect.
Aftereffects: Matrix and Rose
Double-click: Effect Info pane
HTML Output: An image of the type set in Web->Web Options…->Misc. If there is a background image which needs to show through the Mask Group, the Mask Group is output in PNG format.
