Summary
The clipping boundary determines a portion of an image, underlay, viewport,
or external reference to hide. The visibility of the clipping boundary is
controlled by the
FRAME on page 2337 system variable.
List of Prompts
The list of prompts varies depending on whether you are clipping an underlay,
image, external reference, or viewport.
Underlay and Image Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
On Turns on clipping and displays the underlay clipped to the previously
defined boundary.
Off Turns off clipping and displays the entire PDF underlay and frame.
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.
External Reference Prompts
