vertices of the same side of the rectangular clipping boundary are edited
together.
NOTE With Clipping boundaries, you cannot display self-intersecting polygonal
boundaries. An error message is displayed and the boundary reverts to the last
boundary.
Limitations for Clipping Boundaries
When clipping an referenced drawing or block the following limitations apply:
■ A clipping boundary can be specified anywhere in 3D space, but it is always
applied planar to the current UCS.
■ If a polyline is selected, the clipping boundary is applied in the plane of
that polyline.
■ Images in external references or blocks are always clipped within the
rectangular extents of the reference. When you apply polygonal clipping
to images in externally referenced drawings, the clipping boundary is
applied to the rectangular extents of the polygonal boundary, rather than
to the polygon itself.
