Select the block in question to expose its grips, then right-click it to pull up the menu. Select "Block Editor"
When the block editor opens, if the mask is not visible, click and drag across where you think it may be located. Note the rectangle notated by the red arrow in the 2nd image which wasn't visible in the 1st image.
Select only the rectangle to expose its grips, then go to Properties
Verify the object selected is a WIPEOUT and note the Transparency property
Change the Transparency to a number between 1 and 99. The higher the number, the more transparent.
If you prefer to remove the wipeout, delete the mask by pressing DELETE when you can see its grips
When your alterations are complete, click Close Block Editor from the ribbon at the top.
Confirm you want to save the changes
Your drawing will now reflect the new wipeout settings of your block.
