My clipping area is a circle. Those commands clip objects outside of a circle. I need the information on the INSIDE of my circle to go away and the outside information to stay. Just the opposite of the normal command.

with the "normal" commands... it just depends on what boundary you use.

In modelspace: draw a polyline around the image, to the circular area,
around the circle, out again, close.

no overlapping. -> CLIPIT or XCLIP.



Alternative in Layout, Paperspace: rectangle, circle inside, region,
subtract the circle. MVIEW Object or VPCLIP if you have drawn the
region over a viewport.

Got it. Thanks. Would be nice if autodesk could come up with a simple xclipmask command similar to microstation 🙂

don't have MS and don't know how the xclipmask works there.

for me regions in paperspace mask anything I want.



XCLIP could definitely be improved to accept circles and polyline arcs
and provide an inside/outside option.

and I don't understand why IMAGECLIP hasn't got a Polyline option.

well, I use CLIPIT for boundary usage...

Thanks so very much. That really works well and will let me accomplish a lot of things that I had tried unsuccessfully in the past. Again, thanks. It's a good trick -Klyph
