Clipping Referenced Images

You can display only part of a referenced image. The image is clipped at a boundary you create or specify.

You can create one clipping boundary per referenced image.

To clip referenced images:

  1. Click Modify > Clip > Image (or type ClipImage).
  2. Specify the referenced image to which you want to apply a clipping boundary.
  3. Specify an option:
    • Create Boundary: Creates a new clipping boundary. If a clipping boundary already exists for the referenced image, you are prompted to delete the old boundary. Specify options:
      • Polygonal: Lets you define an irregular polygonal shape as clipping boundary by specifying points.
      • Rectangular: Lets you define a rectangular clipping boundary by specifying two opposite points.
      • Select polyline: Lets you select an existing PolyLine to serve as clipping boundary. Arc segments are decurved.
    • Delete: Removes the clipping boundary.
    • Off: Turns the clipping boundary off to display the referenced image entirely. The clipping boundary is retained so you can activate it again.
    • On: Turns the clipping boundary on to display only the portion of the referenced image inside the clipping boundary.
