    Default Wipeout Frame plots in dynamic block

    Hey guys,

    the wipeout frame in this dynamic block plots even though i have the wipeout frame set to "0".

    If you have time could someone look at this and tell me what Im missing?

    I couldn't duplicate your problem when plotting to PDF (I used monochrome CTB, I didn't have your plot style)
    I'm using Acad 2017, so maybe that's it too?

    I did "see" the wipeout line when previewing the plot as a faint gray line, but it didn't print.
    Just for giggles I put the wipeout on it's own layer and tried it and didn't see the line in preview.

    Thank you Ted for taking the time to look at it. I see the same faint gray line, but it is plotting when I plot. I would love to be able to use wipeout on all my text and in some of my blocks. But, until i can get this working correctly Im stuck fixing lines every time a change is made to my drawings. I have never had luck with wipeout or text masking. This would be a HUGE time saver if I could iron this out.

    Thanks again, Ted!

    I've never been a fan of Wipeouts -- they always seemed to be more troublesome than useful.. MText and dimension text masking on the other hand, has always been 100% reliable. Is either of those failing for you?

    One suggestion -- the the color of the wipeout object/frame to 255,255,255

    I agree, dimension text masking, I have had no problems. Masking multi-line text I haven't tried in years.
