EDIT: Thanks for the advice, all. I've got a few ideas I'm going to try.
Hey all,
Wipeouts In Autocad Printing Black
I've recently discovered the WIPEOUT command, and it's a godsend for what I'm doing. But... it's also very limited and frustrating too.
Commands for Working with Wipeouts Products and versions covered AutoCAD 2016, AutoCAD Architecture 2016, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016, AutoCAD Electrical 2016, AutoCAD MEP 2016, AutoCAD Map 3D 2016, AutoCAD Mechanical 2016, AutoCAD P&ID 2016, AutoCAD Plant 3D 2016, AutoCAD Structural Detailing 2016, & AutoCAD Utility Design 2016. Wipeout command in AutoCAD A closer look at Wipeout command of AutoCAD Despite its great feature it always remained one the least used commands in AutoCAD. This command can be used in crowded drawings to mask the background and you can even create blocks with this command that always remain opaque to the background entities of the drawing. Wipeout does not show wiped out from the PaperSpace Viewport. AutoCAD crashes and closed when creating a new Viewport with the Polyline function, in the same file. (File maybe currupt). Thanks for your trials. The wipeout area is bounded by a frame that you can turn on or off. You can also choose to display the frame on screen and have it hidden for plotting. How to activate Wipeout command?- WIPEOUT Enter Frames: WIPEOUT Enter F Enter On or Off or Display but not plot. You have your wipeout on a NOPLOT layer: that means AutoCAD is beng asked to never consider it when plotting. Wipeouts need to be plotted, they are not blank, they are a 'color'. In your sample, your wipeout is also behind the wall, not in front of it (unless I'm looking at it upside down).
Now, I've figured out a fair bit about using them, but here's the main problem I'm trying to work around right now. I make a wipeout in model space. When I go to paper space and lay a dimension (DIMLINEAR) that's tied to the corners of this wipeout, it usually tells me the distance that it is on paper space. So a wipeout that's 14 inches in the model will show up as 1 ΒΌ inches or whatever, depending on the scale the viewport is set to.
Of course, when you make a wipeout out of an existing polygon, you can tell it to either delete the original polygon or leave it there. If I tell it to leave it there, then DIMLINEAR will sometimes work because I can't be sure whether the point I'm clicking on is the corner of the wipeout or the corner of the polygon. If I happened to click the polygon, it works. If I happened to click the wipeout, it doesn't.
I can use WIPEOUTFRAME 0 to hide the wipeout frame, but the wipeout will often hide the polygon it's sitting on, even if I adjust the draw order. ARG!
Any advice would be appreciated.
And before anyone asks why I'm putting the dimensions in paper space: it's just the best way for what I'm drawing. The objects in the model space are going to be in many different viewports with various layers turned on or off. Putting the dimensions in model space would make it really cluttered and cumbersome to use.
