Hello, I'm new here.
 
I'm trying to figure out a way to place a circle somewhere in a drawing, and then copy the circle, plus anything that resides inside the circle, without having to trim the objects around the circle.
 
this would be used for making a "blown-up" view of detailed areas of a drawing, so I can copy a small part of that area, scale it to something bigger, and place leaders and text to explain the details.
 
Thank you!
 
-J

You can try the EXTRIM command from Express Tools.

Best solution, use Extrim command. After, use Copy command and type in IP on command line. Disable OSNAP and costruct a polygon around circle. Now copy polygon and paste it on a new autocad file. Close but don't save your source file. Open it again and paste your previous polygon and adjust it.
