Masking of text

Ok so I moved some text earlier that I did not know was masked, seeing you can't see it on a black background. I placed a line over an old location and the mask is covering the line. How do I get rid of the mask. I've tried express tools text unmask and that didn't work. Any other thoughts.

TFRAMES at the command line Heidi, or the "broken rainbow" icon near the
Midpoint on the ET Standard toolbar.

You'll most likely need to do this twice, as it's a command that turns thing
on/off, but has no User options that I've been able to discover.

Before moving masked text. Make sure PICKSTYLE is set to one. You can also
toggle group selection with CTRL + H

And if you're using a Grip Edit you'll need to be using Move (MO) and not
Stretch.

My own experiences with this situation. 😮

Toggle frames "on" and that will show text masked frames that got left behind.

You can use the Wipeout command.

Wipeout-frames-on
