Places and clips a drawing using automatic scaling.

          1.* (Y/N) define: y-source frame first, n-target frame first <y>
       if `y' is entered:
          2.* (POINT) first point of source frame
          3.* (POINT) opposite point of source frame, <ENTER>-new first pt.
          4.* (POINT) first point of target frame
          5.* (POINT) opposite point of target frame, <ENTER>-new first pt.
       if `n' is entered:
          2.* (POINT) first point of target frame
          3.* (POINT) opposite point of target frame, <ENTER>-new first pt.
          4.* (POINT) first point of source frame
          5.* (POINT) opposite point of source frame, <ENTER>-new first pt.

Description
This command places and clips a drawing on the drawing sheet.  The clipped
drawing will be scaled automatically to fit in the target frame.

If the drawing from which you wish to clip does not exist on the screen, you
must place it using the command \dpaut or \dpscl.  The drawing may be placed
anywhere on the screen, i.e., within or outside the drawing sheet frame.  If
you only wish to clip from the drawing but not include it in its entirety,
place it outside the plotting area, or erase it before sending the drawing
sheet to the plotter.

There are two methods to place and clip a drawing on the drawing sheet:
         1. Define a target frame followed by a source frame.
         2. Define a source frame followed by a target frame.

Specify which frame (source or target) you wish to define first.

Source Frame

If you select to define the source frame first, specify the first and opposite
points of the frame on the placed drawing to be clipped.  Then specify the
first and opposite points of the target frame on the drawing sheet.  While
specifying the opposite point of the target frame an elastic rectangle fixed
to the proportions of the source frame is attached to the cursor and the
source frame blinks.

The part of the drawing specified in the source frame will be drawn to fill
the target frame at a scale determined by the relationship between the sizes
of the two frames.  The drawing will be surrounded by a green broken-lined
frame.

Target Frame

If you select to define the target frame first, specify the first and opposite
points of the frame on the drawing sheet.  Then specify the first and opposite
points of the source frame on the drawing.  While specifying the opposite
point of the source frame an elastic rectangle fixed to the proportions of the
target frame is attached to the cursor and the target frame blinks.

The part of the drawing included in the source frame will be drawn to fill the
target frame at a scale determined by the relationship between the sizes of
the two frames.  The drawing will be surrounded by a green broken-lined frame.

You may continue to clip further drawings by either method until you select
another command.

NOTE 1: If you regret the position of the first point of a frame, press
<ENTER> before specifying the opposite point.  This will allow you to relocate
the first point.
