How to reduce text background (white fill/masking) in dimensions?

[darling_PORT]

Hi, I am trying to move the text on my dimensions closer to the dimension line using the "Text Offset" parameter in the type properties. However, when I do this the masking of the text also masks the dimension line when the dimension is at an angle. I need the masking on (I can't just change the text type to transparent). Does anyone know of a way to reduce the amount of white space behind the text in a dimension? Thanks!

Annotation text is scale based...the only way to influence the masking background is by changing offset and text height with respect to the Scale

If your intent is to get a hairline gap between bottom of the text and the dimension line, then that is not possible. You would need to model your own dimension string as a line based component
