AutoCad Dimension Mask Background not Functioning

anjes_f — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 01:37:34 GMT

Hi,

Kindly refer to attachment.

Would like to apply the background mask for the dimension, tried at properties palette and also text formatting. But it seems the function has been locked - cannot click at all at properties palette, and also not shown in text formatting field. This issue never happened before!

Appreciate for any help.

Many thanks!

Hi Vinod,

The setting for the fill color is "None". Because not all dimension will be using the mask background.

Hi,

I have checked on my end and I am able to fill color for the dimension text. I tested it on both AutoCAD 2018 and AutoCAD 2020.

Try updating AutoCAD 2020 with latest update and see if that fixes the problem.

Tested in AutoCAD 2020

Mask Text? Can you show us where you are looking please ( a screenshot or two) and for which "text" type as listed in PROPERTIES command?
