Wipeouts work fine for simple objects with minimal vertex points, but is there a simple way to paint a hatch on a closed object that is a solid background color and keep the border visible? (LT2007)

Thanks in advance!

Use the SOLID hatch and change the colour to 255

[#3]

That leaves a white fill on the screen. I'd like to have a fill that is the same as the background color, non-transparent and will not plot.

Only if you forgot to set pen 255 for 0% screening (0, as in zero, nothing,
nada). See attached, get into using your plot styles to their full
advantage.

Yes, I've set screening to 0%. I operate in model space with a black background. All of my settings for pen 255 match your image exactly. I still have a solid white fill on my screen in model tab, but in my layout tabs the fill appears to be a 50% gray. Print Preview looks fine, and prints fine on a B&W laser printer...

Not an option, 255 will always display on screen. Try Draworder to fix the
display without breaking the printing. Or go back to wipeouts.

wipeout's that allow for curved polylines would be swell. just a thought.

[#8]

The first reply is the answer until then.

I come close to curved wipeouts by creating polygons. The tighter the details level required, the more vertices....
