Hi there,

Can anyone point me to some information about how DXF files (can)
handle clipping commands? Meaning, the graphical feature that crops
lines and shapes so only a certain part of them is visible?

We can't seem to find anything about this in the DXF reference, and
need to support the equivalent of e.g. PostScript clipping paths.

Thanks,
Jeroen

Afaik, there is no clipping path; don't think it is useful in CAD.
