    Default Mtext Background Mask

    I like this feature and would find it very useful if only I could plot it!

    It doesn't seem to make any difference as to what colour I choose the background, it only seems to plot a square black box.

    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    JessettL, while you await a response, try clicking the links below marked 'similar threads' as I believe this issue has come up before.
    Good luck.

    What version of LT are you using. I am pretty sure that this feature wasn't available in LT until 2005 or 2006. We have 2004 here, and anytime a text mask is created in AutoCAD, the people who use AutoCAD LT have the same problem.

    Melanie, thanks, but no solution found in similar threads as yet - just would seem I am not alone with this problem!

    Brenda, I'm running LT2006 with the latest patched update which sorted out quite a few niggles - just not this one!

    Well, unfortunately so far it looks like this too will have to go on a wish list!
