Summary

You can either select an existing object to designate as the new boundary, or

specify the points of a new boundary. The new boundary does not clip the

TIP Use the CLIP (page 201) command to clip any type of referenced file: images,

external references, viewports, and PDF underlays.

viewport that has been previously clipped, the original clipping boundary is

deleted, and the new clipping boundary is applied.
