Bill Tillman Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Is there a simple method for adding text to a hatched area and then have the hatch pattern clear from around the text similar to what happens when you hatch with existing text already in place?

Glen Smith Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Are you familiar with the Express tools text mask command? Will that do what you want? Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehaint Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Annotate tab then select wipeout, draw whatever shape you need to create for your text and all is well! Oh, if you do the wipeout after text, the text will disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dbl-click on hatch or type HE to hatchedit, you can add boundaries (will allow you to select additional objects). Forget wipeouts, MText has a background setting.

Eatonpcat Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I use the trim command to modify the hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie8974 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 activate the text box so that the blue grips are showing. Dont open it for text editing. Open the properties window, under the text heading, change Background to yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
