Summary
The clipping boundary determines the portion of a raster image that is hidden,
either outside or inside the boundary. The visibility of the clipping boundary
is controlled by the
IMAGEFRAME system variable. The boundary you specify
must be in a plane parallel to the image object.
When you select an image, the ribbon Image contextual tab on page 945
displays options for creating and deleting clipping boundaries.
TIP Use the CLIP command to clip any type of referenced file: images, external
references, viewports, and DWF, DWFx, PDF, and DGN underlays.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
On
Turns on clipping and displays the image clipped to the previously defined
boundary.
Off
Turns off clipping and displays the entire image and frame.
If you reclip the image 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 redisplays the full original image.
