XCLIPFRAME: Image, PDF, or Border Is Still Visible When Plotted

Issue

You used the XCLIPFRAME command on an a PDF with a border or an otherwise framed image in your drawing with the hope of clipping it so it wouldn't show up when plotting. When you plotted, however, the item was still visible.

Cause

You likely have XCLIPFRAME set to an incorrect value that calls for the framed item to be visible when plotted.

Solution

Type XCLIPFRAME in the Command line and press Enter. When prompted to enter a value, type 2. This value will allow framed images and their borders to be visible in your drawing but invisible when plotted.
