a DWF or DWFx underlay to clip, right-click in the drawing area,
and click DWF Clip.
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 system
variable.
The boundary you specify must be in a plane
parallel to the DWF or DWFx 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 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

clipping boundary: objects are clipped either outside the boundary or
inside the boundary.
NoteYou can only create
a new clipping boundary for a selected DWF underlay when the old
boundary is deleted.
