Hi,

 

plotting with transparency should only be used when really needed, as

  • it converts part of the geometry to raster
  • the PDF gets much larger (or plot-output)
  • sometimes you loose the text-search ability inside DXF

 

Wipeouts are developed (my understanding) to hide objects behind, not to make it transparent and then only partially hide/fade out entities behind.

Wipeouts are a strange thing too, I had a lot of issues with them and avoid them anyway. The alternative is to use a hatch with pattern SOLID (color 255,255,255) as

  • I can more easy find and select the objects
  • I can control color/transparency/... by the layer properties (as I have these hatches on a "wipeout"-layer :cara_guiñando_un_ojo: )
  • hatches can really fill arc/splined objects (wipeouts create segmented arcs and so a lot of unnecessary endpoint-object snaps)

 

I don't have issues with polygonal viewports (at least not that much as I had with wipeouts).

It may be that you get issues with display (like missing viewcube if you clip the right-upper part), but never had crashes because of polygonal viewports.
