Wipeout Command Autocad

 



Please upload a dwg-file that has these issues (describe were in the dwg-file you see the conflict, that the wipeout is not working). Also please start command ABOUT so we can see the exact type/version/update of your AutoCAD. Also, I use to attach pdf's. This great routine allows you to select an existing object that is curved and turn it into a wipeout. It also gives you an option to erase the existing object after it makes the wipeout. It will work on olylines, circles and ellipses. OB2WO to start; Select object to turn into wipeout (Circle, Ellipse, Polyline).

Circles and Lines Tutorial: Eleven little productivity enhancements add up to big time savings.


Another release of AutoCAD is here — and as usual, I prefer to write about the unsung heroes in the product, those smaller features that will no doubt improve your everyday drawing life. In many cases, if someone doesn't mention them, you just might miss them — and we certainly wouldn't want that! Following are eleven of my favorite new features.

Strikethrough Text

Mtext (along with tables, mleaders, and dimensions) now supports the common text feature of strikethrough text.


Use the new Strikethrough text tool to draw a line through your text.


In-Canvas Property Preview

Before AutoCAD 2013, most property modifications (such as layer, color, and linetype) didn't appear until after they were changed. Now, the new In-Canvas Property Preview lets you see the changes before you finalize them. For example, as you scroll down the Layer pull-down list with objects highlighted, you can see the object properties change for each layer as you move your cursor. This new feature should help you make more accurate property selections.

Edit Multiple Hatch Objects at Once

Autodesk moved the Hatch Editor to a contextual tab on the ribbon a couple of releases ago. There was a problem, however: You could only edit one hatch at a time. Well, that limitation is gone now. Feel free to select as many hatch objects as you want!

Quick View Drawings Update Stata latest version.

Do you use Quick View Drawings to move from one open drawing to another? Well, you should! Quick View Drawings (found on the status bar) helps you easily move to another open drawing, as well as a specific layout tab of that drawing. AutoCAD 2013 displays the current drawing more clearly with bold text and a nice green border. Now you don't have an excuse not to use this nifty command!


It's easier to identify the current drawing and layout in Quick View Drawings.

Longer Font List Window

I'm sure that in the early days of AutoCAD, a short font window in the Text Style dialog box wasn't a problem; after all, there were fewer than half a dozen fonts! Over time, that list grew substantially — but the teeny, tiny window for the font list did not. At last, the font list window has been lengthened, so you won't have to do as much scrolling. Consequently, you will burn fewer calories with AutoCAD 2013.

Leader Improvements

Now, it's easy to put your leaders in front of other objects with the new Leader option in the TextToFront tool. The Mleader text box also includes a margin between the text and the frame now, as well as a minimum width for the text to prevent text overflow.


Easily move leaders to the front of the display with the new Leader option in TextToFront.


Display, but Don't Plot Wipeout Frames

To edit a wipeout, the frame must display, but often we don't want that frame to plot. No more turning wipeout frames on and off! Just set the new WIPEOUTFRAME system variable to 2, and the frame displays but won't plot. Note that you can also find this new option in the Wipeout command.

Finally, an Offset Preview

Wouldn't it be nice if you could see a preview of an offset before a final selection? Wish granted in AutoCAD 2013.

Xref Changes

In AutoCAD 2013, you can edit the saved path directly in the External References palette, and the found path is now read-only (as opposed to the other way around, as it was in previous releases). This should mean fewer lost xrefs!


Edit Saved Path in AutoCAD 2013 rather than the Found path.

Reverse Polylines with Widths

The new system variable PLINEREVERSEWIDTHS controls what happens when you execute the Reverse command on polylines with varying widths. When you set PLINEREVERSEWIDTHS to 0, varying widths are not affected. When it's set to 1, on the other hand, the widths of the segments are reversed and applied to the vertices starting in the opposite direction.

Lie to me season 3 subtitles. PressPull Enhancements

Acad wipeout not working

One very nice 3D improvement is with the popular PressPull command. The new Multiple option lets you PressPull multiple objects at one time. You also are no longer limited to selecting inside a closed boundary. Open 2D and 3D curves are now fair game!

One of the coolest additions to the PressPull tool is the ability to extrude a tapered solid while continuing the taper. Simply use the Ctrl key when selecting the face and the extrusion follows the existing taper — I love that! Tip: You can also use the Shift key to select multiple boundaries in PressPull.

Aside from the big features in AutoCAD 2013, you'll find these little productivity enhancements add up to some big time savings — and who doesn't appreciate that? Until next time, Happy AutoCAD-ing!

The Region Command

ToolbarDraw
Pull-downDrawRegion
KeyboardREGIONshort-cutREG
A region is a surface created from objects that form a closed shape, known as a loop. The Region command is used to transform objects into regions rather than actually drawing them (i.e. you will need to draw the closed shape or loop first). Once a region is created, there may be little visual difference to the drawing. However, if you set the shade mode to 'Flat Shaded', ViewShadeFlat Shaded, you will see that the region is, in fact, a surface and not simply an outline. Regions are particularly useful in 3D modeling because they can be extruded.
Before starting the Region command, draw a closed shape such as a rectangle, circle or any closed polyline or spline.

Command Sequence

Command: REGION
Select objects: (Pick P1)
Select objects:
1 loop extracted.
1 Region created.
You can use the boolean commands, Union, Subtract and Intersect to create complex regions.

The Wipeout Command

Toolbarcustom
Pull-downDrawWipeout
KeyboardWIPEOUT
A Wipeout is an image type object. Most commonly it is used to 'mask' part of a drawing for clarity. For example, you may want to add text to a complicated part of a drawing. A Wipeout could be used to mask an area behind some text so that the text can easily be read, as in the example shown on the right.
The Wipeout command can be used for 3 different operations. It can be used to draw a wipeout object, as you might expect, but it can also be used to convert an existing closed polyline into a wipeout and it can be used to control the visibility of wipeout frames.

Command Sequence

Command: WIPEOUT
Specify first point or [Frames/Polyline] <Polyline>: (Pick P1)Specify next point: (Pick P2)
Specify next point or [Undo]: (Pick P3)
Specify next point or [Close/Undo]: (Pick P4)
Specify next point or [Close/Undo]:
You can use as many points as you wish in order to create the shape you need. When you have picked the last point, use right-click and Enter (or hit the Enter key on the keyboard) to complete the command and create the wipeout.
You may find that it is easier to draw a polyline first and then convert that polyline into a wipeout. To do this, start the Wipeout command and then Enter to select the default 'Polyline' option. Select the polyline when prompted to do so. Remember, polylines must be closed before they can be converted to wipeouts.
In most cases, you will probably want to turn off the wipeout frame.

Autocad Wipeout Text Command

Command Sequence

Specify first point or [Frames/Polyline] <Polyline>:F (the Frames option)
Enter mode [ON/OFF] <ON>:OFFRegenerating model.
The Frames option is used to turn frames off (or on) for all wipeouts in the current drawing. You cannot control the visibility of wipeout frames individually. You should also be aware that when frames are turned off, wipeouts cannot be selected. If you need to move or modify a wipeout, you need to have frames turned on.
It is often more convenient to draw the wipeout after the text so that you can see how much space you need. In such a case, you may need to use the DRAWORDER command (ToolsDisplay OrderOption) to force the text to appear above the wipeout.

Tip: If you have the Express Tools loaded, you can use the very useful TEXTMASK command, which automatically creates a wipeout below any selected text. Find it on your pull-down at ExpressTextText Mask

Points and Point Styles

Points are very simple objects and the process of creating them is also very simple. Points are rarely used as drawing components although there is no reason why they could not be. They are normally used just as drawing aids in a similar way that Construction Lines and Rays are used. For example, points are automatically created when you use the Measure and Divide commands to set out distances along a line.
Wipeout Command Autocad
When adding points to a drawing it is usually desirable to set the point style first because the default style can be difficult to see.

The Point Command

Command
ToolbarDraw
Pull-downDrawPointSingle Point
KeyboardPOINTshort-cutPO
The point command will insert a point marker in your drawing at a position which you pick in the drawing window or at any co-ordinate location which you enter at the keyboard. The default point style is a simple dot, which is often difficult to see but you can change the point style to something more easily visible or elaborate using the point style dialogue box. Points can be used for 'setting out' a drawing in addition to construction lines. You can Snap to points using the Node object snap. See the Object Snap tutorial for details.

Command Sequence

Command:POINT
Current point modes: PDMODE=0 PDSIZE=0.0000
Specify a point: (pick any point)
Strangely, in Multiple Point mode (the default for the Point button on the Draw toolbar) you will need to use the escape key (Esc) on your keyboard to end the command. The usual right-click or enter doesn't work.

The Point Style Command

Toolbarnone
Pull-downFormatPoint Style…
KeyboardDDPTYPE
You can start the point style command from the keyboard by typing DDPTYPE or you can start it from the pull-down menu at FormatPoint Style… The command starts by displaying a dialogue box offering a number of options.
To change the point style, just pick the picture of the style you want and then click the 'OK' button. You will need to use the Regen command, REGEN at the keyboard or ViewRegen from the pull-down to force any existing points in your drawing to display in the new style. Any new points created after the style has been set will automatically display in the new style.
One interesting aspect of points is that their size can be set to an absolute value or relative to the screen size, expressed as a percentage. The default is for points to display relative to the screen size, which is very useful because it means that points will remain the same size, irrespective of zoom factor. This is particularly convenient when drawings become complex and the drawing process requires a lot of zooming in and out.
