Clip External References and Blocks
You can specify clipping boundaries to display a limited portion of an external
reference drawing or block reference.
You can clip external references such as DGN, DWF, IMAGE, PDF underlays,
or block references. With a clipping boundary, you can determine the portions
of an external reference or block reference that you want to display by hiding
the redundant parts of the reference inside or outside the boundary.
