## Function Description:
This command is used to clip a selected image by a specified boundary.
The clipping boundary determines the portion of a raster
image that is hidden, either outside or inside the boundary. Users
can use the IMAGEFRAME system variable to control the visibility of the clipping
boundary and specify the boundary in a plane parallel to the image object.
## Command Access:

## Command Prompts:
Select image to clip:
Enter image clipping option \[ON/OFF/Delete/New boundary\] \<New\>:
## **ON**
Turns on the IMAGECLIP and displays the image that clipped to the previously
defined boundary.
## **OFF**
Turns off the IMAGECLIP and displays the entire image and frame.
If the IMAGECLIP is in OFF states, even the clipping boundary is invisible, it
is automatically turned on and you are prompted to delete the old boundary when clipping image again.
## **Delete**
Removes a predefined clipping boundary and redisplays the
entire original image.
## **New Boundary**
Defines a
rectangular or polygonal clipping boundary or create a polygonal clipping
boundary from a polyline.
**Note:** Users must delete the old boundary firstly and then create a new
clipping boundary for a selected IMAGE underlay.
- **Select polyline:** Defines a boundary by
the selected polyline, it can be open but must consist of straight line
segments and without self-intersection.
- **Polygon:** Defines a polygonal clipping boundary by selecting three or more vertices of
a polygon.
- **Rectangular:** Defines a rectangular boundary by
the specified corner points.
- **Invert clip:** Inverts the mode of the
clipping boundary, users can clip objects inside or outside of the boundary.
