Autocad Wipeout Not Working
Sometimes the blocks containing wipeouts will not plot as wipeouts if placed on the same layer as information you are covering. In CAD it will appear that the wipeout is working correctly, but when printed it. Posts about Wipeouts written by AutoCAD Tips. 28/autolisp-objects-2-wipeout/) and written by Giles Chanteau stopped working in newer releases of AutoCAD because.
EDIT: Thanks for the advice, all. I've got a few ideas I'm going to try.
Hey all,
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.
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 ¼ 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.
- [Instructor] We're staying in our 08_MarkUp.dwg file,…and what we're going to look at…is marking up an AutoCAD drawing…as mentioned in the previous video.…And the first type of markup we're…going to use is called a Wipeout.…Now Wipeout basically creates a polyline,…but anything inside the boundary of that polyline…is hidden, it's wiped out.…It's a bit like sticking a large Post-It note…over something so that you cannot see it.…So we're in our 08_MarkUp drawing,…we've got the AutoCAD table there,…and I'm going to Wipeout the AutoCAD table from the drawing.…

Autocad Wipeout Not Working In Paperspace
Now something you might want to do,…based on the fact that you created…a markup layer in the previous video,…is go into your Layer Properties manager,…and make sure that your markups here,…if I just scroll across slightly,…are set not to plot,…like so.…So they will hide objects, but they won't plot,…when you plot the drawing.…Otherwise you'll end up with…these like polylines everywhere.…So just make sure you set it like that,…and then close the Layer Properties manager.…
