acer666 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I got a map in Autocad (100% done by Autocad) and i have to clip out a part of it. Now i'm using this kind of solution: I put rectangle (with size of needed part) on my map and TRIM all lines around this rectangle. And after that i delete all unnecessary. But this is too complex (because map is made by thousands of lines) and it takes lots of time to do this (and i have to do many such works). Any ideas how i could make my work easier? Is there a simple way how to crop out a part of that map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipali Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 You can convert your map into block. & than use x-clip to clip out the part u want to show on the screen. x-clip also works with block, but can't check it out as using LT now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Try the Express tools' Extrim command Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maper Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 But when exploding the block, the entire map comes back! How to solve this problem? I want to use my map section for modeling exercises (Focus SSA) and to ensure 100 % control, I want to get permanently rid of the rest of the map...

ReMark Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 EXTRIM does not create a block. So, what method are you using to clip out a portion of your drawing that does do this? I am sure I have seen a couple of custom lisp routines that will create a "detailed" view of a portion of a drawing. Have you tried looking for such a routine?

nestly Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I believe EXPORTLAYOUT would work well if everything outside the boundary is to be permanently discarded. It also cuts blocks and xrefs at the boundary, which EXTRIM will not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
