This came up where I work back in the days of Quark 3 or 4. The application
dictionary didn't help, so a coworker and fellow scripter, Cory Zimmerman,
and I spent a couple of hours trying every variation of syntax we could
imagine.
Cory finally stumbled upon the right command which, amazingly, ever worked
at all and, more amazingly, still works in QuarkXPress 6.5! I'm sure others
have figured this one out, but I've not seen it appear anywhere.
Here's the code:
tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell page 1 of document 1
tell image 1 of picture box 1
delete clipping path 1
-- or
delete clipping paths
end tell
end tell
end tell
