Create a Blank Area to Cover Objects | 465
You can create a wipeout object by specifying a polygonal area with a series
of points, or you can convert a closed polyline into a wipeout object.
Requirements and Limitations
If a polyline is used to create a wipeout object, the polyline must be closed,
contain line segments only, and have zero width.
You can create wipeout objects on a layout in paper space to mask objects in
model space. However, on the Plot Settings tab of the Plot dialog box, the
Plot Paper Space Last option must be cleared before you plot to ensure that
the wipeout object is plotted correctly.
Because a wipeout object is similar to a raster image, it has the same require-
ments for plotting: you need a raster-capable plotter with an ADI 4.3 raster-
capable driver or the system printer driver.
