Hello
I want to delineate an image with a circle.
I tested with a polyline but the outline of the image is not good because it does not follow an arc of the polyline.
So I use the polygonal function and generate several points that I approach to a circle but the operation is long and tedious.
Do you have a faster solution?
I think the easiest way would be to convert a circle into a polyline....
Thank you in advance.
Why not do it via a layer?

In the paper space, draw a circle, make display/window/object, choose the circle.
Thank you for your answers.
To answer stefbeno:
The problem is that I have several images on the same plane.
For example, it is customer logos, visuals or other images that must be cut out with a circle and positioned on my map... However, when you insert an image, it is necessarily rectangular...
I absolutely need the images on my object space and not on the paper space...
Regarding gt22's answer:
Can you elaborate on your answer...
Attached is an example of an image to be cropped...
As much for me, I read too fast.
The easiest way would be to retouch the images before inserting them, even if it means choosing a Kivabian color outside the circle while keeping a square format for the image.
Thank you for your answer.
The problem is that if you use a rectangular image, you have to play with the lines and it quickly becomes unmanageable when you have several images and lines...
In the best of all worlds I would like to make a circle and asked autocad to delimit the image following this circle. Unfortunately I think I'm going to stick with my polygon solution with several points inscribed in a circle.
but thank you again for your answers.

Video that allows you to retrieve the round image via Illustrator and insert it into Autocrad

Hello
Indeed, you can't delimit an image with arcs. It's the same for the Xrefs by the way!
To solve your problem there are 2 solutions:
1- Use a PNG image with transparency (as stefbeno said)
Note: Remember to activate the "Background transparency" property for the inserted image and to set the value 2 to the FRAME variable (so as not to print the frame)
2- Create a regular polygon and select it as the bounding outline.
Note: Unlike what you do, before making your boundary, use the "POLYGON" function with at least 32 sides depending on the size of your circle. You'll then select it to crop your image. You will gain in consistency and time!
A+
Thank you all for your answers.
Your gt22 solution is good too, the problem is that I don't have illustrator and that the size of the file is increased tenfold... but it can be a solution...
ericR your solution to put the file in png why not but I think I'll stay with my solution of the polygon with several points inscribed in a circle.
And thanks to stefbeno for his contribution...
Good luck.....
