Wipeout Not working

Merry Christmas everyone...

I'm having a hell of a time getting WIPEOUT to work on a particular drawing.

I’m running Window 10, AudoCAD 2022

I’ve tried:

Draworder – No affect
TRANSPARENCYDISPLAY = 0 and then switch back to 1 – No affect
Stripped the drawing down to only 1 layer and copied to new file – No affect
VSBACKGROUNDS =0 and then back to 1 – No affect

I’ve attached the file which has a WIPEOUT on the left side of a background image I'm trying to use it on. Currently FRAME is set to ON simply so I can see it.

the back ground was originally a 3D drawing that I was provided. I've used OVERKILL to reduce duplicate lines.

I've changed all the object to Z = 0 (don't think this matters considering DRAWORDER, but just in case...)

I'm hoping someone can have a look at the file and give me some suggestions.

Hello @DM2-fire

Just change the Visual style to "2d wireframe" and that should fix the problem. Currently its set to wireframe so the wipeout is working. Type in the command "VS" and click "2" and enter to set the visual style to 2d wireframe and then select the wipeout and use the draworder to bring the wipeout to front 🙂

See attached drawing

Vinodkl,

Thanks for for your response and sorry for not responding sooner.

Your recommendations helped solve the problem. I think the issue started because the original file was 3D..

Thanks for taking the time to read my question and providing response,
