Crop to Bounds

Clips all geometry to a rectangular boundary, removing everything outside.

When to Use

• To extract a region of interest from a larger design
• To trim imported files to a specific area
• To remove border or frame geometry

Options

Option	Description	Default
Left	Left boundary X coordinate	Drawing minimum X
Bottom	Bottom boundary Y coordinate	Drawing minimum Y
Right	Right boundary X coordinate	Drawing maximum X
Top	Top boundary Y coordinate	Drawing maximum Y

How It Works

1. Defines a rectangular clipping region from the specified bounds
2. Polygons fully inside are kept
3. Polygons fully outside are removed
4. Polygons crossing the boundary are clipped — new edges are created along the boundary

Technical Notes

• Clipping creates new polygon edges along the crop boundary
• Cell references crossing the boundary are flattened and then clipped
• The drawing’s bounding box is updated to reflect the cropped area
• Use Layer Mask for non-rectangular clipping regions
