sometimes we import DWG file from our team and want to utilise only small portion of the file so when that part gets updated we can refresh our file and just make change of it. In CAD software, there is a xclip command that clip the block by rectangle so only that small portion appear on screen.
Is there something similar in rhino 7
Hi -
No, there isn’t. It’s on the list to be looked at at some point in the future.

Hi,
I’ve made a comment related to this one: Clipping box in 3D view
Working with large 2D and 3D files in marine industry - we would love to be able to link a file and just view a specific portion of it, i.e. set extents (rectangle or cuboid). The lack of such functionality is the main reason ship designers are reluctant to rely more on rhino - models/drawings get heavy very quickly to the point of not being to work with them + it is much easier to work if you don’t have clutter in your workspace.
As a rhino enthusiast I’ve had many conversations about this issue with people from different companies and I am confident that I can speak for many in this case…
In my specific case this is the main reason that prevents our company from moving away from autocad and doing both 3d and drafting in rhino. I think that the same argument was mentioned a couple of times in other threads discussing the possibility of ditching AC in people’s workflows.
