    Default Receiving Error while using text mask

    Masking text with a Wipeout ** GROUP command not allowed during reference
    editing **
    Unknown command "CREATE". Press F1 for help.
    Unknown command "*". Press F1 for help.
    Unknown command "IN USE BY TEXTMASK". Press F1 for help.
    <Entity name: 78729440>

    Anyone have an idea as to why it says "IN USE BY TEXTMASK" I am not able to save my drawing after I use the textmask command.

    I created a macro to use instead of always using hte toolbar and still get the same response regardless of if I use the toolbar or the macro.

    Any help would be great and as always, thanks in advance

    Default Re: Receiving Error while using text mask

    Hi

    Are you experiencing the above message when using the TextMask command within a RefEdit session?

    If yes, try using the XOpen command to open the Xref file for editing, then use the TextMask command on the open Xref file.

    Have a good one, Mike
