IS THERE A WAY TO CREATE A BOUNDARY AROUND TEXT TO BLOCK OUT WHATEVER IS BEHIND THE TEXT, (i.e. LINES, etc.). IT WOULD CLOSELY RESEMBLE WHAT THE ISLAND IN HATCH DOES.
THANKS
 
What version of autocad are you using ?
if your using Acad 2000/2000i use the express tool text mask this creates a small box behind the text using a wipe out and will do exactly as you say you are wanting

now if you are using R14 based products you would need the bonus tools same tool name
 
I am trying to do somethig similar because I have a dark area w/ text on top of it, but i don't want a box around the text. i want the white text to show on top of the black area. is there any way to do this? right now i am turning text into outlines and then hatching around them to produce the effect. Any hints would be greatly appreciated!!!!
