Creates a wipeout: a polygonal area that covers everything drawn beneath it with the background color. It is used, for example, to clear the space for a text or a table on a drawing.
Usage
- Enter WIPEOUT or click Wipeout.
- Specify the first point of the boundary, or press Enter to convert a polyline.
Specify first point or [Frames/Polyline] <Polyline>:
- Specify the next points.
Specify next point: Specify next point or [Close/Undo]:
- Press Enter (or enter C) to close the boundary and create the wipeout. At least three points are required.
Options
- Polyline (P): uses a closed polyline as the boundary; then asks whether to erase the polyline.
Select a closed polyline: Erase polyline? [Yes/No] <No>:
- Frames (F): shows or hides the frame of all the wipeouts in the drawing (WIPEOUTFRAME).
Enter mode [ON/OFF/Display but not plot] <ON>:
- Undo (U): removes the last point.
Notes
- A wipeout covers what was drawn before it; to change what stays on top, use DRAWORDER.
- The arcs of the polyline are turned into straight segments, as AutoCAD does.
- The wipeout and its frame mode are saved in the drawing like AutoCAD's.
