Moving items within Clip Cube

I've searched the forum for an answer to this question, but found none.

I have Xrefed a several floor plans into a new drawing file and tried using clip cubes to only show the plans that I want and it seems to work out fine. The problem that I am having is that I can only use 1 clip cube at a time, am I missing something? I create 1 clip cube and it works fine, but if I try to create another one it cancels out the first one. Also, is there a way to move to contents that are inside of a clip cube?

I think the ability to save xclips on a xref to a GoToView was added in ver14.
updgrading to ver17, and you will be able to save a xclipped xref to a view, link that view to a plot detail.

There is a difference between a 3D Clip Cube (that we have had forever) and X-Clipping which apply only to XRef's and self-references.

3D Clip Cubes can be toggled on and off with GTV's. X-Clips in addition can now be used to toggle on/off layers within XRef's and self references. This came in a later version of X13, if I remember correctly. X-Clips can also be fences with (virtually) unlimited vertices; and not just rectangles, like 3D Clip Cubes.
