Background masking toggle

Can anyone think of a way to turn off background masking *temporarily* for a
selection set of mtext/dims that are already masked?

Then turn *just* them back on ?

 

for mtext all you can do is create a lisp that removes masks and adds
masks.. (the route we took).

for dims, since masks are tied to the style, not the entity .. you will
have a much harder time of doing what you want.

 

I have one written by Lee Ambrosius that works just dandy.

yeah, for now I have defined a dummy style that is a copy except for
no-mask. I apply that to the dims.

I need the masks off to do a colored rendering. The white squares all over
the place look horrible. But then I need them back on for normal duties.

I'm going to try some sort of xref/block/refedit/override combination next
to see if its possible that way.

 

hmm.. what white squares?.. what setting are you using for your masks?
