rengised Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Hi there guys, hope you are all doing fine. Anybody here can share a lisp for the wipeout for block attributes? Thanks in advance. I attached the block attribute. new block.dwg Quote
tzframpton Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 I'm not sure if you're looking for some type of automation LISP routine or what, but why not just add it to the block itself? Draw Order would set the objects in the proper position to not be effected by the WIPEOUT. And personally, I would not use WIPEOUT. Instead, I would use a Solid Hatch, and choose a color in your CTB file that is unused and set it to that color. In your CTB file, set the Screening to 0% and it will act as a Mask for all objects underneath the block. WIPEOUT's are a raster object and not only bloats the file, they can be hard to maintain and they cause problems when printing and creating files such as TIFF or PDF. Another alternative is to set the Solid Hatch to True Color 255,255,255 which is a "true white" and yields the same results. Only thing is, the solid hatch is pure white and it may not be your preference. This is why setting a color in your CTB file would be best so you can pick a color of your preference, and identify that particular color as a "Masking" color. 3rd alternative is if you actually use STB plot styles, just create a named plot style with a 0% screening. Hope this may help. Quote
