CorelDraw X7: How to remove all shapes which are outside selected shape.

I need to remove everything outside base shape (bold square). Base shape can have any shape. Is there a function where I can select base shape, click button and everything outside its borders will be disappeared? Is it possible to do in CorelDraw?

Example:

This is an original image:

I need following result:

  • The easiest way to do this is using a Powerclip. This is essentially a container for one or more objects, like a clipping path in Photoshop or Illustrator. To achieve what you want:

    1. Select all objects except the rectangle;
    2. Use Object → Powerclip → Place inside frame;
    3. Pick the rectangle.

    Now you'll only see what's inside the container, limited by its borders. You can "enter" the container by right-clicking it and choosing "Edit powerclip" (or CTRL-clicking the object). You can extract the contents to the main layer by right-clicking it and choosing "Extract contents".
