A Wipeout is its own separate drawing object so it may need to have its display order adjusted so that the text displays but the underlying lines do not. To create the Wipeout, select the tool and create a polygon to represent the area to be hidden. Single line text can be masked using the Wipeout command on the Markup panel of the Annotate tab.

When working in Autodesk’s Civil 3D and AutoCAD there are a few different ways that you can add a mask around the label.

To remedy this, you can place a mask around the text which will wipe out or hide the objects under that mask. This obscure the text and make it difficult to read. When placing text on drawings, many times, the only place to place the label will be over lines in the drawing.
