This might be a long shot / i doubt Autocad has this feature, but i thought I'd ask anyway...
when creating MText and needing a background mask, I often have multiple lines of text, however I often cannot manage to justify the text evenly on each line of text (i.e. so that each line has the same length of text)
this results in a BGM which has an annoying empty space which blocks out the background xrefs/objects. See this link for an example (the dotted rectangle is blocking the white polyline behing the MText - e.g. i want to be able to see the corner point of the white polyline without moving the MText).
I am aware i can get around this by having TWO/multiple independent MText entities (one for each row of text) and applying a hugged BGM to each MText, but this is not practical, especially when having 3+ rows of text!
ideally..... there would be a new feature/BGM alternative which would hug each word/character rather than the entire 4 corners of the MText box.
i hope i explained this clearly enough. let me know if i can/can't apply my ideal solution any way (or at least a solution that is better than the mentioned work-around)!
