Hi - I am wondering how to go about a script that would delete all objects (shapes, polygons, boxes) that a situated at a distance >= a given radius from layout center (0,0). Thanks and regards, Cristian

    The solution depends on your expectations: delete a shape when it's entirely outside? Delete it partially? What about shapes embedded in a hierarchy?

    The easiest solution is a boolean AND with a circle shape. This is cut off everything outside the circle. But it has some side effects like turning paths into polygons etc.
