Greetings,

When I toggle on a Knockout on a ParaText, it initially shows correctly on some associative hatch - but as soon as I zoom or change the view, it disappears?

Can symbols have Knockout? I'll try for just the text/text attributes in the symbol, but if the whole symbol could, that would be better.

Would love if a whole symbol could be a knockout and everything within the symbol showed. Right now we have to build the knockout layering within the symbol entities the same as if they were not symbols.

Well ...

If you don't need Autocad compatibility, turn off Compatibility Mode and add/modify the following key to the [KnockOuts] section of the INI file:



This will force any KnockOuts, within Symbols, to draw first allowing any additional geometry within the Symbol to be shown.

Note Well: This is in no way compatible with Autocad and will not display correctly there.

Hey, hey, hey ... even God took 6 days to create the world! Give me a LITTLE break in timing, huh? :twisted:

How can I have a ParaText with Knockout work on the hatch but not obscure the Smart Arrow? The two notes above the bathrooms are show on the screen the way I'd like them to print, but on the plot, the arrow leader in the ParaText Knockout is not there.
