Crops the display of
a selected DGN underlay to a specified boundary.
Access Methods
Shortcut menu: Select
a DGN underlay to clip, right-click in the drawing area, and click
DGN Clip.
Summary
The clipping boundary determines the portion
of a DGN underlay outside the boundary that is hidden. The visibility
of the clipping boundary is controlled by the DGNFRAME system
variable.
The boundary you specify
must be in a plane parallel to the DGN underlay.
TipUse the generic
CLIP command
to clip images, external references, viewports, and underlays.
List of Prompts
The following prompts
are displayed.
On
Turns on clipping and
displays the DGN underlay clipped to the previously defined boundary.
Off
Turns off clipping and
displays the entire DGN underlay.
If you reclip the DGN
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 entire DGN underlay.
New Boundary
Defines a rectangular or polygonal clipping boundary,
or generates a polygonal clipping boundary from a polyline.
Specify clipping boundary
or select invert option: [Select polyline/Polygonal/Rectangular/Invert
clip] <Rectangular>:
- 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
