Crop operations provide the means of clipping drawing views with a defined boundary. A Crop operation is performed on existing views except of the following view types:
- Views containing a view break (broken view)
- Views with overlays
- Suppressed views
- Views that are already cropped
On the cropped views, you can perform following view operations:
- Break Out view
- Detail view
- Slice operation
Crop operations can be performed on a view with circular or rectangular shapes or a predefined view sketch.
In the following image see the result of a crop operation.

- Assembly view

Crop operations and the effect on annotations
Crop operations support all types of drawing annotations. Annotations can be anchored to endpoints of cropped geometry including edges produced from the crop edges, if they are displayed.
Dimensions
Crop affects existing sheet dimensions. When annotation anchors are lost, annotations become sick.
Centerlines and center marks
Crop affects existing centerlines and center marks of all types. When anchors are lost, annotations become sick.
