Text Mask

[KUMonger]

I have a question about AutoCAD text masks.

The problem is, I (and everyone within my company) cannot get text masks to appear on any "D Size" print. BUT - they appear on all of our "B" size prints.

As you view the text mask within CAD itself, the mask blocks out all information behind it, as it should and it looks correct. When you print or plot the drawing, everything behind that mask that is blocked out on the monitor, is now shown, completely ignoring the mask altogether.

Is this a setting within autocad?
I would assume so, as the masks worked perfectly fine with 2006 CAD and we have just discovered this problem since changing over to 07 CAD.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Are you using the same printer for both the B & D size prints? I know the mask do not work with some older plotters.

Also try, if not already, having the mask color not on a no plot layer but instead on a pen screening of 0. This will make the color always block out anything so pick a color that isn't being used and try that also.

have you tried wipeout after text mask? Type Wipeout/ Frame & Off the frame
