To specify a new boundary on a clipped DGN underlay

  1. Select a DGN underlay and right-click in the drawing area. Click DGN Clip.
  2. At the command prompt, enter n (New Boundary).
  3. Enter n (No) or y (Yes) to delete the old boundary. If n (No) is selected, the command ends.
  4. Enter p (Polygonal) or r (Rectangular), and then draw the new boundary on the underlay.

    If you are drawing a polygonal boundary, you are prompted to specify consecutive vertices. To finish drawing a polygon, press ENTER or right-click anywhere in the drawing area.

    You can modify clipped boundaries with grips. See Use Grips to Edit Objects.
