AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Background Mask (Text Mask) Editable In 2012?
Mar 22, 2012how to manipulate the size of the wipeout for a text mask.
Simply selecting the masked text in C3D 2011 provided pick boxes at the four corners of the wipeout, making it very easy to manipulate the size of the wipeout box. I'm hoping to do the same in C3D 2012, but the wipeout seems to be treated like a block and lacks the pick boxes.A system variable maybe?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Annotative Text Background Mask Size?
Jun 14, 2010I am working in Civil 3d 2010. I have annotative text and when I apply background mask the width is huge. Is there a system variable or something else that I need to change so the background will only be masked behind the text and not additional width?

May 21, 2012The background mask does not align with text in curve labels with the "allow curve text" set to true. See Attached.
I found old posts with this problem for version 2009 and older. Is it still a problem in 2011/12/13?

AutoCad :: Background Mask In Dimension Text
May 23, 2006If you can background mask dimension text the same way you can with mtext. I know i can explode the dimension and edit the text and give it a background, but that is poor practice. I still want to keep the dimension associated.

Feb 17, 2011I have found where / how to apply a background mask to text (listed in the properties box when I highlight text). The list of fill colors does not include white. I was hoping to create a background mask that did not add a shaded box to a black and white print but simply blocked out the contents behind the text.
I am using 2010 LT if this makes a difference.

Jun 24, 2013My background masks is displaying a border (which is not desired) and they are not masking the backound but instead are masking the text. What gives? (see attached)
This issue is specific to one drawing. It seems to effect all background masks regardless of style. They are set to use drawing background color. And border option is set to false in the label styles.
The last items I worked on in the last sesson where to create a corridor and an intersection.
Also, why the pen table is printing correctly that would work as well. The attached image was printed using a black/white pen file. Go figure.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Background Mask For Text In Multileader?
Sep 13, 2010I am just wondering how is possible to set up a Multileader style that creates text with a background mask.
I have been trying to get this feature in the Multileader style manager and I could not find it in order to avoid to set up background mask every time I create a Multileader
AutoCAD LT :: Creating Text Style With Background Mask
Jun 26, 2012AutoCAD LT 2013
For some reason my qleader settings will not retain as they once did. I have used them in the past with no issues, but can't seem to get AutoCAD to remember what I want. It's a real pain.
I've tried toying with mleaders. I like them for the most part, but I can't get my text to be background masked automatically (like I can with qleader). I also will need to change my text styles as my current style scales the text size. MLeader allows me to set the scale (MLEADERSCALE) for the different scales in my drawings which is nice, but without the background mask, I'd rather use QLeader.
Any way making the text with automatic background masking? I don't mind creating a text style with background mask.....if that is possible somehow.
AutoCad :: Width Of Text Property And Background Mask?
Jan 18, 2012When you click a piece of text in AutoCad and look on the properties pane, there is a 'width' variable. Why does the background mask for the text still work when the width property for the text is set to 0 or are these totally unrelated? What purpose does the width property of text actually serve (when it seemingly works fine when on 0)?

May 29, 2009Actually We are trying AutoCAD 2010 and i have a question about multileader i cannot find in the manual.we are used to set a bright background mask under our text (including Mtext, Qleader, Dimensions) this way the printed text can be seen much better in dark area.
Now i'm am upgrading from AutoCAD 2007 and discovering Multileader (and i cannot find the Qleader button on the ribbon) so i conclude the new "standard is multileader", this is annoying because i cannot find anywhere how to put text mask background inside text in mleader. any option available? i would like to begin to use this function, but the text background is mandatory here.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Background Mask In Label Styles
Oct 9, 2012I wish i could plot label styles (pipe network labels, point labels, etc.) that contain background mask with the line merge setting ON. Mleaders with background mask plot fine with line merge on, but any intelligent object style containing a background mask will not 'mask' when plotting with line merge on.

Apr 25, 2013Noticed that applying background masking to Dimension text, Mtext, and Mleader text is done three different ways in Properties? I wonder why they just don't all have the same properties and the same UI for accessing those properties.
Mleader = There is a dropdown box named "Background Mask" with two choices: Yes & No.Dimension = There is a dropdown box named "Fill Color" with color choices, where "Background" = masking.Mtext = There is a field labeled "Background Mask" with an ellipses button [...] that opens a popup box to set options.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Label Background Mask

Under contour label style under Layout>Border>Background Mask, this is set to True.

Jun 17, 2012I'm on Civil3d 2010. I have a drawing where i have background masks on most of my text - everything works great. Then I did a "Save As" to give the drawing a new name. After working in it for a day or so, I noticed that all of the text masks don't show. When I hover over mtext (or blocks with mtext), a border shows around the text (only when hovering). But bottom line is the background mask doesn't show at all or print. The original drawing is still fine.
I've checked and this has nothing to do with line merge in the pc3 file etc.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Where Is Setting For Sample Line Label Background Mask
Jun 17, 2013Where is the setting for the sample line label background mask? I have some sample lines that will be plotted on top of an aerial photo, and the black box background looks terrible. I'd like to turn it off. I found the contour label background fine and I switched those to False without much of a problem, but I can't seem to locate the ones for the sample lines.

Apr 25, 2008Try plotting to a PC3 format with Line Merged option on under the properties for the plotter. Note how the contours continue through the text.
Try plotting with Lines Overwrite. Note how the contours don't go through text.
Any users out there saying they cannot use the "Lines Overwrite" option and need something else so they can still use the Lines Merged option and have their contour text looking good. How to get this in a SP or HF soon. Otherwise it may be deferred to 2010 and so on and so forth.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Text Mask Deletes Text
Apr 3, 2013I have used text mask for a long while and in the past month, when I use the text mask function, it erases my text completely. I am refering to the express tools command; not the background mask in Mtext. I have checked the display order.
The text mask settings are correct where as it is placing a wipeout. If I turn on the frames, I can move the wipeout and there is no text underneath.
I've done several audits and recovers but no luck. This happens with all my drawings now, not just one.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Hatch Background - Color Mask To Show On Screen Green And Gray But Plot Black And Gray
Feb 27, 2013My company is switching from ctb files to stb files. With the ctb file, we make concrete hatch with two layers. A top layer with the concrete hatch pattern and a background layer with a solid hatch patern. The ctb file concrete plots the concete hatch black and the solid background hatch light gray. I am using civil 3d 2013 and the hatch allows a seperate background color mask. I am trying to make all my concrete layers (Top of Curb, Curb Flowline, etc.) a certain color scheme, i.e. shades of green. I would like my on screen concrete hatch patern to be a green color with a gray background, but plot the concrete hatch black with a gray background. I can not figure out how to do this without making two layers. Is there a way to use one layer and utilize the background color mask to show on screen green and gray, but plot black and gray?
