trim / remove things passing through a viewport?

[cat3appr]

hi there

 

i created a circular view port and now i have items on the main DWG passing through the viewport... how to trim what i don't need, inside this vewiport?

Difficult can look into a wipeout under your object ie send to back, circle not supported by wipeout so use a ploygon withs lots of sides.

 

Another way is the use of a "keyhole" for the shape of the viewport so the under has a hole in it. The horizontal line is like 0.00001 offset with a trim at the circle and edge, so a closed pline.

Freeze the layer in the viewport.

I'd do that this way:

Create a separate layer for a WIPEOUT object (in the Model space)

Create a WIPEOUT object (large enough to cover the size of the round viewport given the scale of the round viewport) using the previously created dedicated layer

The WIPEOUT should be placed where the round viewport is pointing, obviously

"Draworder" the WIPEOUT object to back (Tool>Draw order>Send to back)

(Back to Layout) In the main viewport (while it's active) using Layer Properties Manager VP Freeze the WIPEOUT layer, while keeping the WIPEOUT layer ON in the round viewport
