Backmasking attribute text in a block

[Jon McElwain]

I am building a block with some attribute text and I need to be able to backmask the text. The properties menu does not have a backmask option for the text attribute when I open the block in the block editor.

 

I am using Autocad LT 2011

 

Thanks for the help!!

Okay, I got the backmask to work - it turns out you have to use multiline text, then, while editing the text, you can right-click and select background mask from the drop down menu. Only problem is, I can not keep the backmasked text to stay behind the rest of the block.

 

I attached a copy of the block - it is super simple, but I can not get the backmask to work!

 

As always, thanks for the help.
