# Clip Outside - Rectangle / Circle / Polygon

## Function

This command hides all points outside of a user-defined fence.

## Procedure

To hide points outside of a fence:

1. Click on the icon or type **cwhideout** at the CAD command line and press **Enter**
  1. To change the default type of fence to be drawn, type **Polygon**, **Circle**, or **Rectangle**, and then press **Enter**
2. Draw a fence. If you define a polygon fence, you can end it by clicking near the starting point. The points within the fence are hidden.
  1. To manage and edit fence clippings, use the **Clipping Manager** dialog, which is available via the **cwclipmgr** command.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The procedure for hiding points outside of a fence is identical to the procedure for hiding points inside a fence. See the **cwhidein** command for details.
