Masking Underlying Objects with AEC Polygons
Use this procedure to change an AEC Polygon style to mask a background. This style property also determines if masking
break marks display correctly in your drawings. For more information about working with break marks, see “
The Basic
Annotation Tool
” on page 1952.
1
Select an AEC Polygon, right-click and click Edit AEC Polygon Style.
2
Click the Other tab.
3
Select Use Background Mask.
4
Click OK.
All AEC Polygons of this style use a background mask in the current drawing.
Specifying the Display Properties of an AEC Polygon Style
In most cases, you want the appearance of AEC Polygons that belong to the same style to be consistent throughout a
drawing. To achieve this, you specify the display properties of the AEC Polygons in each AEC Polygon style:
■
The layer, color, and linetype of AEC Polygon components
■
The hatching used for the components of the AEC Polygon
AEC Polygon components
Display components in Model view
Description
Component
Inner edge of the AEC Polygon.
NOTE When the edge dimensions are set to 0, the interior edge is
the only edge of the AEC Polygon.
Interior Edge
Outer edge of the AEC Polygon.
NOTE When the edge dimensions are set to 0, the exterior edge is
not displayed in the AEC Polygon.
Exterior Edge
Hatch component of the inner part of the AEC Polygon.
NOTE When the edge dimensions are set to 0, the interior hatch is
the only hatch of the AEC Polygon.
