Hi, I want to know if it's possible to mask my graph title in my profile view?
The graph line shows above my title. I made a caption of my problem.

Hello @jerome.raby ,
There are a few things that could be tried. Not knowing what you have tried or what the particular entity is, i will list some and we can eliminate them.
Thanks for helping
Normally i will do exactly the same things you said. But in this particular case, all the options you said are not working because it's a label in the graph style.
You can remove all the text from the content box
or
Change the text height to such a small size it will only be a blip on the plan.

No, i want that text to appear because it's the name of my profile view.
I did not find the solution for the text to appear above the lines because the normal solutions that works well for other situation like J.FOCHT said are not working for this particular case.
would it be possible for you to post your drawing or just the profile so we can look at it? It may be easier to understand what is happening that way.

Check the image of my profile view. The text box appear when you name your profil view but when i go into the style of my profile i do not have the option to mask my text. My question is: did you know how to make my text box appear above my profile lines. I dont want to create a manual box with masking text.
@jerome.raby , unfortunately, I don't think it's possible in the current state of the ProfileView Styles.
You can't do it with the view style, but you can do a work around fairly easily with a profile line label style, see the example I attached. You need a dummy non-plotting profile that has no vpi's to do it. The label is inserted with dimension anchor at graph view bottom with an offset appropriate to you graph. I left the line on in the style as to illustrate how it works, in the final style you would set the lines visibility to false.
I see two work around options:
1. Add a Note label style that includes reference text. The style can include a border and background mask. aa
2. Use 2 viewports. Divide and conquer. I assume that you will be publishing from a layout. (See sketch below.)
Both of these methods let you position the title to avoid profile view content.
It would de nice if the Civil 3D were to add background masks for the titles, or make more objects and properties available to reference text and fields. However, they seem not to address issues if there are work arounds, even if they are are obscure or cumbersome.

Hi @jerome.raby ,
Interesting topic you got here. I'd like to add another workaround. See attached <Screencast Link> and sample dwg as a guide. Excellent workaround to both @cwr and @ChrisRS.
