TIP Use the generic CLIP command to clip images, external references, viewports,
and underlays.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
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.
Distance Creates a clipping plane the specified distance from and parallel to
the clipping boundary.
Remove Removes both the front and back clipping planes.
Delete
Removes a clipping boundary for the selected xref or block. To temporarily
turn off a clipping boundary, use the Off option. Delete erases the clipping
boundary and the clipdepth. The
ERASE command cannot be used to delete
clipping boundaries.
Generate Polyline
Automatically draws a polyline coincident with the clipping boundary. The
polyline assumes the current layer, linetype, lineweight, and color settings.
Use this option when you want to modify the current clipping boundary using
PEDIT and then redefine the clipping boundary with the new polyline. To see
the entire xref while redefining the boundary, use the Off option.
New Boundary
Defines a rectangular or polygonal clipping boundary, or generates a polygonal
clipping boundary from a polyline.
