Exploring the FRAME Option in AutoCAD’s Wipeout Command

The FRAME option within the wipeout command in AutoCAD is a nifty feature that controls the visibility of the borders around your wipeouts. It’s especially useful for managing how your drawings look on-screen versus how they appear when printed.

Using The Frame Option:

When you create a wipeout, by default it comes with a frame — an outline that marks its boundary. Here’s what to do if you want to change this setting:

1. Activate: Type WIPEOUTFRAME into the command line.
2. Set Your Preference:
   • Input 0 to hide frames completely.
   • Enter 1 if you wish to see frames on-screen (they’ll still be hidden when printing).
   • Use 2 so frames will show both during editing and in printouts.

This flexibility allows you not only to edit more easily by seeing where each wipeout lies but also keeps final prints tidy, free from unnecessary outlines cluttering up space.

Practical Applications of Frames:

• While designing, keep frames visible (1) for ease of selection and modification.
• Prioritize presentation quality; set them invisible (0) before sharing or publishing plans.

Remember though: even when turned off, these boundaries remain selectable which means modifications are just few clicks away without disrupting overall aesthetic flow document provides!

In essence, think of ‘Frame’ as cloak invisibility drawing — there at a moment’s notice should need arise to reveal itself otherwise perfectly blending into background ensuring focus stays right where intended… On design elements themselves!
