NEED non-rectangular clipping option when geo-referencing PDF's!

    Overlap on geo-referencing PDF's that have match lines in non-rectangular format creates so much extra work when cleaning up extracted vector PDF data.

     

    We need to be able to have a polygon clipping tool to fit the shape of match lines to get rid of overlap!

    Draw a closed polyline around the area of the sheet you want to view and right click on the file in Project Explorer, then select add image boundary.

    That works for adjusting the viewable image, but it doesn't clip the imported vector PDF data. Overlapping sheets will still have overlapping line work when everything is imported.

    I misunderstood you, yes I agree.

    You can clip the Vectors PDF data using the same boundary if needed. Understand that there is also a need here, but this is the way to do it currently
