mrharris78 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 After reading this thread; http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?71889-How-to-create-a-lisp-program-displaying-coordinates/page3 It reminded me that dimensions do not have the 'Background Mask' functionality, they have 'Text Fill'. This is OK in itself, however, if you are using White text (Colour 7) and specify a fill colour of 255 you cannot see the dimension value in the drawing (White on White). I make good use of Lee Mac's 'Mask' routine: http://www.lee-mac.com/mask.html This makes adding background masks so much easier. I have just quickly tried to add "DIMENSION" to line 112 of Lee's code but with no luck. Any Ideas? Maybe I am missing something more technical or I am way out of my depth? Probably both actually H Quote

mrharris78 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 The variables: DIMTFILL and DIMTFILLCLR seem to have done the trick! Quote
rkmcswain Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 lol, if it was that easy I would have done it Any plans to update MASK.LSP to apply the masking to DIMENSIONS? TIA. Quote
Lee Mac Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Any plans to update MASK.LSP to apply the masking to DIMENSIONS? TIA. Please try the new Version 1.2. Quote
Grrr Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Awesome, Lee! One tiny problem I've noticed: The mask is covering the dimension line, can this be an easy fix ? Quote
Lee Mac Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Awesome, Lee! Thanks. One tiny problem I've noticed The mask is covering the dimension line, can this be an easy fix ? This is controlled by your Dimension Style - the offset of the text from the dimension line (DIMGAP). Quote
Grrr Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 This is controlled by your Dimension Style - the offset of the text from the dimension line (DIMGAP). Oops, my bad! By the way, these syntax waves of your codes are very inspiring! I wonder how you do not get lost while writing such long programs. Quote
AndruxaZ Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Hello everybody. I have a problem with this code on dimension. I have localized (russian) Autocad 2012 x32. Command: BMASK Select mtext, mleaders or dimensions: Error: incorrect DXF-group: (-3 ("acad" (1000 . "DSTYLE") (1002 . "{") (1070 . 340) (1070 . "22A") (1070 . 144) (1070 . 1.0) (1070 . 173) (1070 . 1) (1070 . 344) (1070 . "22C") (1070 . 343) (1070 . "22C") (1070 . 283) (1070 . 1) (1070 . 40) (1070 . 25.0) (1070 . 69) (1070 . 1) (1002 . "}"))). You can solve this problem? Sorry for the bad english. Quote
AndruxaZ Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Hello Lee Mac. My apologies for the long absence Attach a file Test.dwg Quote
AndruxaZ Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 I have installed add-in to the Autocad - SPDS GraphiCS 8 - http://www.spds.ru/about/spds-graphics/feature.html This application is written ObjectARX I noticed if the add-in is not running, your utility BMASK works. Sorry for my bad English Quote
guran Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 In AutoCad 2016 you can go to properties find "Fill color" and set it to Background. Quote
