circular shape

[Giovannino60]

How do you proceed to insert an image in an autocad file and crop it with a circular shape? Thank you

Simplest way is attach in model space and then use a layout you can have a circle as a mview. Mview object.

Here's another way.

 

Create a rectangle the size of the image and then use the polygon command to create an n sided polygon.  I used 32 sides for this example.

Explode both objects and delete one of the lines of the polygon.  Create a polyline like the red one on the image below and the green line.

Use PEDIT to join all the lines together to form a closed polyline.

Use  wipeout p  n to create a wipeout.

Move the noted red vertex so that is is coincident with the vertex in the top right corner.

Place the wipeout shape over the image.  It may be necessary to use draworder to move the image to the back.

Change the color of the wipeout outline so that is blends with the background.

Just use Rectangualar Viewport to show Image, then Draw a Circle show area you want, finally use VPCLIP command with Viewport and Circle

I don't think anyone said "rectangular window". They said "rectangular viewport".

 

If you're using Autocad 2010, your ribbon might appear different from my screenshot, but in 2018 you would go to the "Layout" tab and there you can create a rectangular viewport.

You can also use the VPORTS command to create a rectangular viewport. In the dialog box, select "Single" and then click "OK". Then click to select the first corner of the viewport, drag your cursor and click to select the 2nd corner.

Or you can use Bigal's suggestion and just create a circular viewport.

 

1. Draw a circle on screen.

2. Initiate the MVIEW command and then type "O" for "Object".

3. Select the circle to turn it into a viewport.

I figured out how to do it. It is sufficient to do so: 1) layout; 2) draw a circle 3) click on object.
