Tekenmeester Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi, this will be my first post and I would like to say firstly, thanks for the great forum. Now to my problem, I have any image inserted in model space & in paper space I use a viewport to add the image to my drawing, but when I clip an piece of the image off the image still shows as if not cliped althou the vieport border shows it clipped.

NBC Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 If you are trying to clip an image, try using IMAGECLIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tekenmeester Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 If you are trying to clip an image, try using IMAGECLIP It works when I clip the image itself by when I clip the vieport it doesent work for some reason. Just as info when I insert the same image into a new drawing then vpclip work as it should. I think it must either be some bad objects on my drawing or some system variable.

StevenMc Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 sorry it wasnt your name i didnt understand it was what tyou were trying to say but its clear now i just ried it on my autocad and i worked so heres how i did it... VCLIP Select viewport to clip: i select viewport Select clipping object or [polygonal] i press enter Specify start point: select start point Specify next point or [Arc/Close/Length/Undo]: i select next point Specify next point or [Arc/Close/Length/Undo]: i select next point Specify next point or [Arc/Close/Length/Undo]: i select next point Specify next point or [Arc/Close/Length/Undo]: i select next point Specify next point or [Arc/Close/Length/Undo]: i type C for close viewport clipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
