Can you use an MTEXT? Mtexts, unlike pain TEXTs, have a Background mask property.

If it's possible in Plant, then it's an enhanced entity. Plain text does not support it unless you want to put a black rectangle (wipeout) behind it.

Use Middle-Center justification, or in the case of plain Text, Middle justification may give you a position you like better, and put the insertion point on the Line/Polyline.  With plain Text, use the TEXTMASK command [read about it in Help for options in size, color, object type].  With Mtext, in the Properties palette you can turn on the Background mask, which also has options.
