Is your imagery import bigger than your design?

You know the drill!

In our example, we will create a polyline around our area of interest and a smaller polyline indicating for example a private field.

In that case, we will just choose the polyline that specifies our clipping region.

In order to do that:

"Edit" -> "Set Clip"

Moreover, do you want a clipping inside the clipping?

"Edit" -> "Add Cutouts"

We can add as many cutouts as we want.

And of course, we can remove these clippings, by clicking "Remove Cutouts" or "Remove Clip".

Incredibly easy!!!
