IMAGECLIP: adjustments

[Anonymous]

Is it seriously not a way to adjust when using the tool IMAGECLIP? Once you've clipped you can never make a new dot or remove a dot in any other way than doing the whole thing over again?

Hi,

if do you mean to adjust image size you can do it by grips (when select without command).if not please describe your problem with more details.

Hi,
and thank you for your reply!

I mean when using the function IMAGECLIP and I have done the clipping of
the image in a polyline.
Then it appears as dots all around the image (where I have clipped it, and
when I have clicked on the image so that it is active).
Then I can move the border (the dots) of the clipped image and adjust the
clipping, but it is impossible to add any new dots. Or remove any.
Meaning: I can spend a huge amount of time clipping an image and if it is
not done right (for instance if it needs to be clipped a bit more accurate
with more dots) I have to start all over again, rather than being able to
add som extra dots where it is needed.

Do you get what I mean?

these dots not suppose to appear!! the only dotted that i see in my own practice is when i select the image and this is visual dotted frame not more.would you describe the clipping procedure please and show us some image?

Maybe I am not explaining myself properly.
The dots I am referring to are just the blue squares that are visible when
the image is marked (clicked/activated/pushed with left button).

Let's try following:
command: IMAGECLIP - select image - new boundary - polyline
clip the image in preferred shape.
close boundary.

And then - oh no! - what if you wanted it almost in that shape, but not
exactly, you need a more precise clipped shape of the image? maybe a good
curve made out of 10 dots rather than a straight line made out of two. You
really wished you had made more marks/dots/blue squares/clipping! What to
do?

this squares called Grips..

you mean that your clipping not fit with your polyline shape then i suggest to use CLIPIT command. this express tool will help you more for clipping image with curves and lines.

hope it's help

Hm. CLIPIT doesn't work in my program, could it be it is not for mac? When
I write it in the Command line it doesn't show.

The problem is not about curved lines though, but rather how to get more
Grips when the clipping is already done. And to remove Grips.

I suggest to post your question in this AutoCAD for MAC which you will find more help...

Hi,

when you did run _IMAGECLIP and assigned a polyline to build up the image clip border you can modify the polyline (there you can add vertices with the standard grip functionality. When you have finished modifying the polyline you have to restart command _IMAGECLIP and use option "New boudary" ==> now select the modified poly.

As far as I can see when deleted the objects that build up the boundary you can't add new vertices to the clipping boundary directly on the image.
