How to clip xref in a specific viewport

[Anonymous]

All, Is there a way to clip a xref in one viewport of a paperspace sheet, but not other viewports of the same file? Thanks, Aaron

Change the viewport size to what you want to show. And if you want the xref to look bigger, just change the viewport scale.

Unfortunately that's not going to work in my case. I have multiple xrefs in a given area that are on top of each other. I want to clip just a portion of a given xref in a specific view, but not clip that xref in other views. I can't just freeze the entire xref either because I need some of it be visible in certain views.

Please following steps below
1. Make a copy of the xref

2. Set up 2 new layers, Layer 1 and Layer 2.

3. Put 2 xrefs to different layers above.

4. Xclip one of the xref

5. In paperspace, go to different view, say View 1 and View 2, VPFreeze Layer  1 in View 1 and VP Freeze Layer 2 in View 2.
