Is there anything CONTROLs for wipeouts in viewports?
Situation: I opened a file with wipeouts in model space. The areas are wipe(D)out when viewed in both model and paper space. The areas I am wiping out are on an Xrefed contour line. Initially, in both Model and Paper spaces, the Wipouts were okay. However, in paperspace, I went into the model space view to change the color of the object I was wiping out, and panning. After these applications, the Wipeout area was not wipe(D)out again. When I switch to he model view, the Wipeout area was fine. Out of curiosity, I created a new viewport and found out that the Wipeout is okay. So the first viewport would not keep the Wipeout properties.
In model space I 'messed' around with the Wipeout to have it 'disturbed'. But when I do the Regen-all function, the Wipeout stays wipe(D)out. But through the paperspace viewport, the Wipeout won't be on. Regen all does not fix it.
I was wondering if there is any controls (as in Visretain) for wipeouts.
Problem with wipeout command whem printing to PDF. 9/30/2010 I am using AutoCAD LT 2009. Every time we use the wipeout command with text it prints fine when printing to paper. When we try to print to PDF, and print the PDF to paper, the 'wipeout' area turns black and you can’t read the text underneath. Basically, print CAD to paper- fine.

Another release of AutoCAD is here — and as usual, I prefer to write about the unsung heroes in the product, those smaller features that will no doubt improve your everyday drawing life. In many cases, if someone doesn't mention them, you just might miss them — and we certainly wouldn't want that! Following are eleven of my favorite new features.
Strikethrough Text
Mtext (along with tables, mleaders, and dimensions) now supports the common text feature of strikethrough text.
Use the new Strikethrough text tool to draw a line through your text. |
In-Canvas Property Preview
Before AutoCAD 2013, most property modifications (such as layer, color, and linetype) didn't appear until after they were changed. Now, the new In-Canvas Property Preview lets you see the changes before you finalize them. For example, as you scroll down the Layer pull-down list with objects highlighted, you can see the object properties change for each layer as you move your cursor. This new feature should help you make more accurate property selections.
Edit Multiple Hatch Objects at Once
Autodesk moved the Hatch Editor to a contextual tab on the ribbon a couple of releases ago. There was a problem, however: You could only edit one hatch at a time. Well, that limitation is gone now. Feel free to select as many hatch objects as you want!
Quick View Drawings Update
Do you use Quick View Drawings to move from one open drawing to another? Well, you should! Quick View Drawings (found on the status bar) helps you easily move to another open drawing, as well as a specific layout tab of that drawing. AutoCAD 2013 displays the current drawing more clearly with bold text and a nice green border. Now you don't have an excuse not to use this nifty command!
It's easier to identify the current drawing and layout in Quick View Drawings.
Longer Font List Window
I'm sure that in the early days of AutoCAD, a short font window in the Text Style dialog box wasn't a problem; after all, there were fewer than half a dozen fonts! Over time, that list grew substantially — but the teeny, tiny window for the font list did not. At last, the font list window has been lengthened, so you won't have to do as much scrolling. Consequently, you will burn fewer calories with AutoCAD 2013.
Leader Improvements
Now, it's easy to put your leaders in front of other objects with the new Leader option in the TextToFront tool. The Mleader text box also includes a margin between the text and the frame now, as well as a minimum width for the text to prevent text overflow.

Display, but Don't Plot Wipeout Frames
To edit a wipeout, the frame must display, but often we don't want that frame to plot. No more turning wipeout frames on and off! Just set the new WIPEOUTFRAME system variable to 2, and the frame displays but won't plot. Note that you can also find this new option in the Wipeout command.
Finally, an Offset Preview
Wouldn't it be nice if you could see a preview of an offset before a final selection? Wish granted in AutoCAD 2013.
Xref Changes
In AutoCAD 2013, you can edit the saved path directly in the External References palette, and the found path is now read-only (as opposed to the other way around, as it was in previous releases). This should mean fewer lost xrefs!

Reverse Polylines with Widths
The new system variable PLINEREVERSEWIDTHS controls what happens when you execute the Reverse command on polylines with varying widths. When you set PLINEREVERSEWIDTHS to 0, varying widths are not affected. When it's set to 1, on the other hand, the widths of the segments are reversed and applied to the vertices starting in the opposite direction.
PressPull Enhancements
One very nice 3D improvement is with the popular PressPull command. The new Multiple option lets you PressPull multiple objects at one time. You also are no longer limited to selecting inside a closed boundary. Open 2D and 3D curves are now fair game!
How To Use Wipeout Command Autocad
One of the coolest additions to the PressPull tool is the ability to extrude a tapered solid while continuing the taper. Simply use the Ctrl key when selecting the face and the extrusion follows the existing taper — I love that! Tip: You can also use the Shift key to select multiple boundaries in PressPull.

Aside from the big features in AutoCAD 2013, you'll find these little productivity enhancements add up to some big time savings — and who doesn't appreciate that? Until next time, Happy AutoCAD-ing!
