Wipeout prints black form pdf's

Recommended Posts

Morning all,

 

When i use the wipeout command rather than background mask in the Mtext window and plot my layout as a pdf, for some reason the wipeout prints as a black block. Is there a solution for this?

 

Thanks

 

Dave

Textmask just uses a wipeout by default so it's the same problem. You could try one of the other options in the masktype option but I don't recommend textmask anyway... leaves a very messy drawing when you come to edit it.

I have no idea- don't use it often for PDF's but just textmasked all the text on the drawing I'm currently working on, plotted to PDF and it's as I would expect, no visible black blocks...

 

I guess there must be a variable or something which controls opacity or something??? :?

unfortunately I don't think there's a solution to this problem.

 

You are probably correct.

 

Are you using AutoCAD's DWG to PDF.pc3 plotter driver? You will not be able to do it with that, I do not believe. Though the DWF>PDF might help.

 

You may find some third party Pdf plotters to plot the Wipeout/Textmask. You need to search the forum and see if anyone has done this.

 

Check this thread....

What are you using to plot to PDF?

I'm just saying what I'm using to plot to PDF...

 

When I go to plot, change the name to PDF Creator, the Plotter listed is that which I mentioned above in quotes...
