CAD drafting Wipeout 6 Command line: WIPEOUT

This command creates a polygonal area that masks underlying objects with the current background color.

The wipeout area is bounded by a frame that you can turn on for editing and turn off for plotting. You can convert a closed polyline consisting of line segments into a masking object.

Masking objects can be created in paper space to hide objects that are in model space.

Note: A masking object must lie above the masked ones.
