Summary
The clipping boundary determines the portion of an image outside the
boundary that is hidden. The visibility of the clipping boundary is controlled
by the
DWFFRAME on page 2302 system variable.
The boundary you specify must be in a plane parallel to the DWF or DWFx
underlay.
TIP Use the generic CLIP on page 341 command to clip images, external references,
viewports, and underlays.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
On
Turns on clipping and displays the DWF underlay clipped to the previously
defined boundary.
Off
Turns off clipping and displays the entire DWF or DWFx underlay and frame.
If you reclip the DWF or DWFx underlay while clipping is turned off, clipping
is automatically turned back on. You are prompted to delete the old boundary
even when clipping is turned off and the clipping boundary is not visible.
Delete
Removes a predefined clipping boundary and displays the full original
underlay.
New Boundary
Defines a rectangular or polygonal clipping boundary, or generates a polygonal
clipping boundary from a polyline.
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.
