Hi All,
Is there a way to mask/wipeout objects, using say a shape with a certin fill color (or any other method)? I know with text, you can set it to have a background color of "BG" but I cannot find this color when selecting the fill color of a shape. If I click on the same location that was called "BG" when I was selecting the text style background color, it no longer says for the shape "BG", but "255" instead. If I use this color, it appears to work on screen (i.e. the fill of the shape does indeed match the background color), however, when I go to print, the shape prints as a solid black box.
Note that I am not concerned with masking a reference. I know how to do this using the clip reference method. I am after masking linework/objects that are in the same drawing as the object that I will be masking them.
Thanks!
255 is the background color and what you are trying to do should work. What version of MS are you using. There were some issues like this a while back if I recall correctly. Also what is your background color to while working in MicroStation and how are you setting it.
