hiding things past map border

If I draw a default landmass, the tool cuts it off at the map borders.
If I then reposition this landmass, part of it may show beyond the map borders.
Is there a way to automatically hide everything past the map borders? Or do you have to break the entity, erase part of it etc??

Check for 'Screen' under sheets. There should be one. And make sure it isn't hidden.
Hi Jim -
Not sure what you're referring to. I don't see any 'Screen' under sheets on the CC3+ interface or inside the dialogue box if I click on sheets. Please see attached image. Thanks.
Make a new sheet called SCREEN, then position it near the bottom of the list, just above MAP BORDER. Then go out of the dialog, and type COLLARAUTO (enter) on the CC3+ command line. This makes a screen for you, that hides everything outside the map border.
The screen is basically just a white polygon that covers things up. For a landmass, you could simply edit it instead, but some things cannot be edited, like raster symbols, so the screen is a good way of handling it.
Thanks - that worked great.
