oodmoff Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 More and more often I come across exhibits where the text has a background mask shaped like the letters and numbers, used in the callout. Typically I see this in GIS software based exhibits. Is anyone aware of a text that can be used in CAD that functions similiarly? Currently working in 2011 Civil 3d. Thanks oodmoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie8974 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I don't know about AutoCAD. It can be done in Power Point, it's called a shadow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Wipe out can use pline shapes but you would have to create your own for each font x 52+ and each word would be individual characters. Maybe the export to something create outline then reimport ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph_map Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 In AutoCAD Map3D we call it "ghosting" and you can only do it with labeling from FDO connections right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
