Hello everyone,
New to the forum here, been spending my time in the Swamp but alas, I cannot find the answers to the issues I have. Perhaps the meat is too thick ... I dunno.

So, here is a question to one of my many problems: (I know, this is not group therapy, but not to fret, this is not a psychological problem I am having, ... yet anyway)
I'm running Vanilla 2005 with the wonderful feature of background fill colors for dimension text. Great !!! However, when I plot the dwg, I get black rectangles where the text should be. Another words, the background fill is plotting black, you can't read the dimension.
I have tried the background, a fill color of 2%, textmasking doesn't work unless I explode the dimension string (EVIL) ... I don't know what else to do.
I have three different plotters and printers and the same thing happens with all three.

Can someone help me troubleshoot this dilemma ??? Please

Thanks.
