Topic: Wipeouts not wiping

[whdjr]

Does anyone use wipeouts?

I know in previous releases of AutoCad there was a problem with wipeouts not maintaining draworder in a viewport.  I am still having this issue in 2006.

Can someone else out there in 2006 verify this for me?

I still have problems with them at times (AutoCAD 2005).

I never had a problem till today (Ver 05)
When using "text mask" on a single text the text seems to have been deleted. I window the area to do a draworder and only the line is selected, like the text is gone.
Text mask on a Mtext is no problem.
I just changed all these labels from Mtext to Dtext, (I like changing the text then slam the return button) now I gatta go back 
Ideas?
<edit>
(Hope I didn't steal your thread, I'm thinkin of text mask the same as a wipeout)

Along those lines:
Why does mask "sometimes" move with a text, sometimes not?. It can be very irratating to find out a mask has been astray. No wipeouts should be left behind (note to self: need camo smiley)

If you set "pickstyle" to 3, the mask will follow the text when you move the text.

I like that 

If you set "pickstyle" to 3, the mask will follow the text when you move the text.

you would think a textmask would know it's boundary and take it with itself without chaging a variable.

and I don't know how "Pickstyle" would control a textmask boundary unless it is treating it like a hatch...

Type: Integer
Saved in: Registry
Initial value: 1
Controls the use of group selection and associative hatch selection.

0  No group selection or associative hatch selection
1   Group selection
2   Associative hatch selection
3   Group selection and associative hatch selection

Pickstyle seems to work!
Thanks All

Ideas about the dfference between Dtext and Mtext, I'd almost swear I've masked both without a problem?

The mask moves with text when pickstyle=1 so it must treat it like a group

Dif day...dif dwg
Just did a Text Mask on Dtext w/o a problem, (I don't understand) 

[Barry Clark]

Could be because PICKSTYLE is a system and not a document variable. If you adjust it, then it stays where you set it globally until you change it. It doesn't change from drawing to drawing.

[PHX cadie]

Pickstyle was the trick as far as the mask moving with the text, so that prob is solved, but I still have the problem of Text Mask that works with Mtext but seems to delete the same line when it is a sinlge line text.
I'll try another dwg

I have had the same problem with wipeouts, but only when I plot. To the plotter, to dwf or anything.
