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.

Options:

Undo	Undoes the last specified point. This option allows you to undo all the specified points except the start point.
Close	Closes the boundary and ends the command.
Polyline	Creates a mask boundary from an existing closed polyline.
Frames	Selects the visibility of the boundaries. The following prompt is displayed: Enter mode <ON> or [ON/OFF]: Options: ON - Display the boundaries. OFF - Hide the boundaries.

Options:

Specify start point or [Frames/Polyline]:	Specify the point.
Specify next point <Start tangent>:	Specify the next point.
Specify next point <Start tangent> or [Undo]:	Specify the next point.
Specify next point <Start tangent> or [Undo/Close]:	Specify all subsequent points defining the boundary inside which is necessary to hide the objects.
Specify next point <Start tangent> or [Undo/Close]:	Press ENTER or select the Close option to end the command.

When you create the boundary from closed polyline, the following prompts are displayed:

Specify start point or [Frames/Polyline]:	Select the Polyline option.
Select closed polyline:	Select the polyline.
Erase polyline? [Yes/No]:	Select the necessary option.

When you create the boundary in the frames mode, the following prompts are displayed:

Specify start point or [Frames/Polyline]:	Select the Frames option.
Enter mode <ON> or [ON/OFF]:	Select the required option.
