How can I have an area behind a dimension "clear up" to better see the dim ?
I refuse to explode everything and trim manually. I'm sure there is some way
to do this. The area is very dense with lines, text, etc. and I can't put
the dim elsewhere.

Please help.

Thanx

Pete

If it is that crowded and you are willing to lose the detail behind the
dimension, then that detail must be unnecessary in relation to the
dimension.

So, how about making full use of layers to separate various items on the
drawing and dimension accordingly. Then you can freeze any layer that you
do not need to see and print/plot only what you need.

Command: WIPEOUT. Then rearrange the display order.

Here's a lisp I wrote that should help you out with this. You will need to
register to see the page (I think) but it's free.

If it's that cluttered, better to add a detail in a larger scale IMHO
than trying to flog that dead horse.
