Clipping boundaries are linked to Clipped Objects

[wommack]

For some reason all of the xclip boundaries for xrefs and blocks are showing up in one drawing I'm working on. As an example, if I clip a block using the rectangle option it adds the rectangle to the block. Selecting the rectangle highlights the block, so if I try to erase the boundary, I also erase the block. It goes away if I explode the block. Other drawings are behaving normally. What have I done?

Hi

Please post the drawing file that demonstrates this behaviour so we may take a look at the issue / problem first-hand ( so-to-speak ).

Have a good one, Mike

It's the xelev file. note the white boundary around the floor plan on the right. This is a boundary that is in a nested xref. Open the xref file and the boundary is not there. Also, if you clip a block in xelev file, it will show the clip.

Hi

Open drawing file "X1C".

Then perform the following...

Command: _.XClip [ Enter ]

Select objects: _All [ Enter ]
1 found
26 were ineligible for clipping.

Select objects: [ Enter ]

Enter clipping option
[ON/OFF/Clipdepth/Delete/generate Polyline/New boundary] <New>: _P [ Enter ]

Command:

Your mysterious XClip Boundary is now visible.

Have a good one, Mike
