    Problem

    In a DWG drawing with clipped reference files. The clip boundary is
    displayed and can not be selected or turned off.


    Solution

    This is controlled by the DWG variable xclipframe. In the key-in browser
    type "DWG xclipframe 0" to turn the display of the reference clip
    boundary off. Setting it to 1 to turn the display of the reference clip
    boundary on.
