Clip Out Entities as New Block Routine

    It worked kinda like CopyBlock and Pasteblock, but it trimmed the entities
    that extended outside the area of the box you selected.

    § Call up the routine (can't remember the name), and it would prompt you to
    draw a rectangle.

    § The routine would then create a wblock that included all the linework
    inside the box or crossed by the rectangle.

    § It would also clip all the linework that extended outside the rectangle.

    § I think the insertion point of the new block was the lower left corner by
    default, and I don't remember being able to alter it.

    § I also can't remember how it handled the naming of the wblock. Maybe it
    just went to a clipboard and you pasted it into the next drawing.

    I think I had it back in Acad14... Got anything like it?
