Editing Clipped External References and Blocks

When you clip a block or an externally referenced (xref) drawing, you can resize or edit their boundaries with grips. In earlier releases, you had to recreate the clip each time you resized or edited the boundaries.

This makes it easier to isolate a specific entity or area from the block or xref drawing to display in the graphics area.

To edit clipped external references and blocks:
Do one of the following:
  • On the ribbon, click Insert > Reference > Clip > Reference.
  • On the menu, click Modify > Clip > Reference.
  • Enter CLIPREFERENCE (XCLIP) in the command window.
