Have you ever run across a file that
used the Express tool utility TEXTMASK and found only the masking frame with
no text associated to it?
This anomaly occurs occasionally with this TEXTMASK
utility. The entities should be erased when you delete the text
associated to them, but sometimes only the text gets deleted. The
problem is that the masking entities are, by default, custom proxy entities
called wipeouts, and the frames of these objects are not selectable unless
the surrounding frame is turned on. To toggle the Wipeout frames on to
select them, enter WIPEOUT at the command line and use the Frames option by
typing F. Enter On at the prompt and issue a return. The frames
are now visible and selectable. You can now delete those wipeouts
without text associated to them.
These wipeout objects can also be
selected with the quick select utility using raster image as the object
type. This option will select all the wipeouts in your drawing and any
other raster images contained in your file.
