Keyboard: _WIPEOUT

Creates wipeout entities and turns their frames on or off.

Wipeouts display with the current background color, so the details behind the wipeout do not display or print. Wipeouts are created using existing polygons, closed zero-width polylines made up of only line segments, or new polylines that you draw while using the Wipeout command. If your version of CADdirect does not include raster image capability (that is, does not include an Image menu), wipeout entities display, but the details behind the wipeouts also display.

Specify first point or [Frames/Polyline] <Polyline>: To draw a wipeout, start choosing points. To turn wipeout frames on or off, choose Frames. To create a wipeout from an existing polyline or polygon, choose Polyline.
