The text looks like this when it is in Layout view
What the text looks like when it is selected:
What the text looks like when it is plotted as PDF (using cutePDFWriter) in Greyscale
I want to be able to see the text as it wipeout's the background model and shows the text...similar to the text box feature in Microsoft Word. However I am not sure if the version of Autocad that I am using is able to perform such a function (AutoCAD 2004 LT).
Please enlighten me on how I can view these texts
I can print to .dwf. However, the same issue occurs..black blocks instead of text masks
The Merge Control under the graphics control had no effect. I tried under the default DWF writer (DWF6ePlot.pc3) and the with the CutePDWwriter...to no avail... My guess is that the AutoCAD that it was designed on was a later version (newer than that of 2004) and when I cadded in 2004 LT, the MText could not be seen due to the missing features.
Can text masks be set in 2004 LT?
Hello
Looks fine here, when trying to plot with DWG to PDF.
On the other hand, i'we expereienced a similar issue with wipeouts. In that case the backgrownd color needed to be changed to white.
Note: after backgrownd color change might need to restart autocad.
Hope it helps.
