I would like someone to test this for me please. I use Civil3D 2012 but I think this is a generic issue and want to know if it is fixed in Autocad 2014.
We use color 51 for a hatch and want to use mtext with a background mask the same color. We use a ctb with a 50% screen on color 51. The screen works fine for the hatch but ignores the mtext background (see attached).
Before I escalate the issue, would someone be so kind as to test this in 2014 for me please?

Solved by pendean. Go to Solution.
As of 2015, this is still unsolved. We're having the problem in 2014, but it's behaving the same 2015.
The best explanation I've found so far is here. (unfortunately no solution is provided)
One factor that seems to be agreed on: the "lines merge" plot setting seems to be a requirement for the masking to plot properly.
There seem to be a few issues here:
The next image shows how it appears in the plot preview as well as in a DWF (via DWF6 ePlot.pc3) or PDF (via DWG to PDF.pc3).
I've attached the drawing if you want to poke around in it.
I would love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!
