Clips images so that only a portion of the image is visible in a drawing. The visible portion (or the invisible portion for inverted clips) can be in the shape of a rectangle, polygon, or existing polyline.

If an image is not selected when you choose the Image Clip command, you are prompted to select an image.

[On/Delete/New boundary]: To turn clipping on or off for the selected image, choose On (or Off). To remove clipping from the selected image, choose Delete. To clip the selected image in a new shape of a rectangle or polygon, or to use an existing polyline as a clipping boundary, choose New boundary.

To clip an image in the shape of a rectangle

Choose New boundary.

Delete old boundary?[No/Yes]: Choose Yes to define a new clipping boundary. Each image can have only one clipping boundary. This prompt displays only if a clipping boundary is already defined for the image.

[Select polyline/Polygonal/Rectangular/Invert clip]: Choose Rectangular. If you want to invert the clip, that is, hide the area inside the boundary, choose Invert clip before choosing Rectangular.

Specify first corner point: Define the first corner of the clipping rectangle.

Specify opposite corner point: Define the opposite corner of the clipping rectangle. The selected image is clipped so that only the interior of the rectangle is visible.

To clip an image in the shape of a polygon

Choose New boundary.

Delete old boundary? [No/Yes] : Choose Yes to define a new clipping boundary. Each image can have only one clipping boundary. This prompt displays only if a clipping boundary is already defined for the image.

[Select polyline/Polygonal/Rectangular/Invert clip]: Choose Polygonal. If you want to invert the clip, that is, hide the area inside the boundary, choose Invert clip before choosing Polygonal.

First polygon point: Define the first point of the clipping polygon.

Pick polygon points, press Enter to close: Define the second point of the clipping polygon.

Pick polygon points, press Enter to close: Define the third point of the clipping polygon or press Enter to complete the polygon. When finished, the selected image is clipped so that only the interior of the polygon is visible.

To use an existing polyline as a clipping boundary

Choose New boundary.

Delete old boundary?[No/Yes]: Choose Yes to define a new clipping boundary. Each image can have only one clipping boundary. This prompt displays only if a clipping boundary is already defined for the image.

[Select polyline/Polygonal/Rectangular/Invert clip]: Choose Select polyline. Select the existing polyline that you want to use to define a clipping boundary of the image, then press Enter. To invert the clip, that is, hide the area inside the boundary and make it visible outside, choose Invert clip before choosing Select polyline.
