Hi together,

Is there a way to make the font as white as shown in figure 2 below. I don't want a white block like picture 1, I just want the font to have a delicate white border. Otherwise the cover takes too much from the plan.

Hallo,

gibt es eine Möglichkeit die Schrift so weiß zu hinterlegen wie im Bild 2 angegeben. Ich möchte keinen weißen Block wie Bild 1 sondern nur das die Schrift zart weiß umrandet ist. Sonst nimmt mir die Abdeckung zuviel vom Plan. 

Vielleicht hat ja jemand einen einfachen Tipp

Hello Vladimir, sorry to interfer here but I have this question regarding dimensions that are creating those white rectangles on anything on wich they are placed.

I have experienced this on files not of mine and I don't know how to set or "unset" this.

For rectangular (not outline) text backgrounds ("halos") you can use the text mask functionality available also in dimensions. Try the DimMask utility (in Downloads) for easier control of text masking in dimensions.

Bothe TextHalo and DimMask should work - both can be downloaded here from the Downloads section.

Thank you very much. Is it possible to make the halo in white?

I have aprox. 100 changes with this option to do in my plan, is it nessesary to change every single text? Because actually I have a white background behind my text and i will change it to the halo.

Talking about TEXTHALO? Just select all the texts, set the halo width (e.g. 1.0) and set the halo color to 7.
