Issue background - 
We have model view on drawing. We want to add Text mentioning specific location in view. When we add text on model view, it is not hiding background model view lines.
Also we dont have functionality for Text with white background in Creo drawings.

Workaround test - Failed
1) Using Hatched Square added on view with white fill color.
With this lines still show in Creo drawing as well as exported PDF. 

2) Using Symbol of hatched square filled with white color.
 With this lines gets hidden in Creo drawing but in exported pdf, lines still shows.

Hi ​@MK_14048865 ,

 

With current limitations of Creo, Notes in drawings do not support a white background fill or automatic masking of model lines behind the text.

 

Thanks.

You may:

  1. Add a separate model to your drawing sheet, with the shape you need and scale it to fit your text size.
  2. Use a manual PDF editor to do so.
