Clipping strategy
The clipping strategy always refers to the coordinate system of the reference object and not the position in the drawing. The following options are available:
| Clipping X | Clipping along the X axis of the reference object. |
| Clipping Y | Clipping along the Y axis of the reference object. |
| Clipping XY | Clipping along both X and Y axes of the reference object. |
| Clipping off | No clipping. |
The list of clipping strategies can be modified. New strategies can be added or the existing ones can be renamed.
| Button | Function |
|---|---|
|

The clipping strategies are modified using the following controls:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Minimum length to cut | Defines the size of the clipping; the smaller the intervals, the bigger the clipping. |
| How much should be kept on each side of the clipping area | Defines the length of the area kept from the excluded region. |
| Clipping representations in length | Defines the distance in millimeters (or inches) on the drawing.
