Is creating a text object with a mask in R6 only possible with the use of annotation style? Obviously without manually editing the mask in every time. In R5 you could do it with -Text command.

I suspect that may not be draw order. It may be because the file covers a large coordinate range. See if you can clean it up using TestZBiasFactor. Any luck?

I have it at 1. What does it need to be at?

You’ll have to fiddle with it. Less or More and see if it cleans up.

.001, .01, .1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000 (everything goes haywire here) no luck. Also it mirrors text improperly.

Different question I think. Let’s sort one at a time. Does your file cover a large coordinate range? If you export that piece of Masked text to it’s own file, does it have the same problem there? What Service Release of V6 are you running? I recall this problem being fixed not too long ago…

This is literally the only things I have in this file. Dims are in inches. [image] [image]

Hello - Is there a ground plane enabled in the current display? @Asterisk Panels menu> Ground Plane -Pascal

Is it this guy? [image] Changing any of those doesn’t affect the text orientation or “dither”. Selecting the text fixes “dither”/“draw order”.

But… turn the ground-plane off or set it’s elevation explicitly to be different than the plane of the text… I do not see a test with it off. My surmise was that the GP is what is fighting with the text mask. Anyway, I can test. -Pascal
