Jab45 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I am using autocad 2008 and I used the function that allows you to hide objects such as hatching or lines under text. When I delete the text, I expected the invisible box to delete with it. Sadly this is not the case. I am not able to click or highlight the invisible box. Does anyone know how to remove said boxes?

ReMark Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 You wouldn't be talking about a wipeout would you? Or better yet a background mask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jab45 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 I'm not exactly sure. We used it for our contour lables on our one map. I believe the option was "hide drawing under text" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Draworder? As in Bring to Front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jab45 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 No. That is something we tried. Let me try to better explain. Once we deleted the text, there was a void in the line where the text used to be. If you mouse over the line it shows that it is infact still connected. (just like it would if it were behind something) So we tried the draworder but the void remains. We basicaly need a way to acces the void as if it were an object so that we could simply delete them.

ReMark Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Globally switch off MText text masks with the lisp routine found here. http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/globally-switch-mtext-masks-on-off-tip7754 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jab45 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 I'm sorry to further waiste your time ReMark. It seems that WIPEOUT worked as that prompted to turn the frames on or off. We simply turned them on and then were able to click and delete. Thank you for your quick and helpful reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I just provided the catalyst for you to arrive at the solution. No problem. You're entirely welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
