If you clip the underlay again while clipping is off, clipping automatically
turns on. You are prompted to delete the old boundary even when clipping
is off and the clipping boundary is not visible.
Delete Removes a predefined clipping boundary and redisplays the full original
underlay.
New Boundary Defines a rectangular or polygonal clipping boundary, or
generates a polygonal clipping boundary from a polyline.
NOTE You can only create a new clipping boundary for an underlay when the
old boundary is deleted.
Select Polyline Defines the boundary with the selected polyline. The polyline
can be open but must consist of straight line segments and cannot intersect
itself.
Polygonal Defines a polygonal clipping boundary with three or more points
that you specify for the vertices of a polygon.
Rectangular Defines a rectangular boundary with the points that you specify
for opposite corners.
Invert Clip Inverts the mode of the clipping boundary: objects are clipped
either outside the boundary or inside the boundary.

On Displays the clipped portion of the external reference or block in the
current drawing.
Off Displays all of the geometry of the external reference or block in the
current drawing, ignoring the clipping boundary.
Clipdepth Sets the front and back clipping planes on an xref or block. Objects
outside the volume defined by the boundary and the specified depth are not
displayed. Regardless of the current UCS, the clip depth is applied parallel to
the clipping boundary.
■ Front Clip Point. Creates a clipping plane passing through and
perpendicular to the clipping boundary.
