I want to make the grid fit inside the circle(remove the extra grid outside the circle). How can I achieve that in the simplest way? I have tried almost everything under the path menu but nothing helped.

(The grid was created using the extensions-> render -> grids)

enter image description here

Note: I would prefer a method that can be applied across any shape.

  • Hard to say your not defining the purpose. Id uselipping path. But wont fit all usecases.

  • yes but what do you need the end results to be. There is a level of reality that you are not aware here. You can think of lines as having no dimension in which case clipping path wont do.

If you only need to hide it visually, duplicate your circle, make sure it's on top of the grid, select both, right-click and select 'Set Clip'.

Alternatively, you can make a clone of the circle instead of a duplicate, if you want it to automatically update when you change the shape of the circle.

If you actually need the underlying geometry gone (for laser-cutting for example), duplicate your circle, make sure it's on top, select both, use 'Path → Cut Path' and then 'Path → Break Apart'. Now you need to manually select and delete all lines outside the circle.
