Question
A
The standard functions for clipping DWG geometry to a specific shape have a number of limitations. However, you can clip a view of any type of DWG geometry using the paper space - into any shape, not just rectangles (circles, ellipses, splines, islands).
You can use two methods:
- The command VPCLIP with the Polygon option, where you can then draw any shape of boundary curve to clip your drawing (model).
- The command MVIEW with the Object option, where you can convert any closed geometry into a boundary clipping object.
If you don't want to plot the clipping curve, place the viewport on a non-plotting layer (see layer properties).
Both methods are illustrated in the video:
