Wipeout in a dynamic block

[danielle.pardorabani]

Hi to all,

I'm experiencing an issue with the wipeout command in a dynamic block.
Everything appears fine in my drawing, but when I print:

1. The wipeout doesn't conceal the underlying objects.
2. The wipeout edges are visible, even though they are placed on the Defpoints layer.
I've attached screenshots and the DWG file for reference.
I would greatly appreciate any help with resolving this issue.

Thank you in advance!

Defpoints layer doesn't get printed, change the layer of the wipeout to another layer and it should work.
Many people advise not to use defpoints layer at all. I personally do use it for help lines that should be invisible.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply, but I’m still encountering issues:

1. Even when using a different layer, the problem persists. If we print, the area that should be hidden remains visible.
2. I would also prefer not to see the contour of the wipeout.

Do you have any suggestions to resolve these problems?

Thank you!

Works for me when I change the wipeout to layer 0.
For the Border/Frame, set WIPEOUTFRAME command to 2.
Create a new wipeout, in the command line, type F for Frames, then select D for 'Display but not plot'

Here's what it looks like for me when I plot:
