AC 14 Dimension opaque owerlaps the line. Help

I used the "dimension opaque" in AC 13, but in new version there is a problem. The text opaque covers the line.

Can I adjust the distance or opaque offset ?

In Layout it looks like the line was broken.

Does seem wrong, but you should be able to select the text part and move it I believe.

Yes, you are right, but...
In this case, there are no difference if I draw fill without outlines behind the numbers. Too much work

The opaque function is good, then working in front off background image ( using topographical image or so )

Maybe it is Graphisoft mistake ?
No answers = no way to solve this problem?
Is there a possibility to regulate the distance?

ordinary text tool have opaque regulation, it would help as working with dimensions too.

Now it looks like "wishes section", but it can't be there. Because there were no trouble in AC 13

I hope there is a solution.

PukisArch,

I do not seem to have the same problem as you are having in AC 14. Attached shows dimension string with masking turned on and the lines are still visible.

Cheers,
Gerald

Have you tried using a different font?
It could have something to do with the line spacing built into the font.

I tried all possible fonts.
Actually, if font size is bigger than 2, the gap appears.

Could it be your localization? Have you tried non-cyrillic fonts? Or perhaps the international version of AC? It does seem to be a bug in need of reporting.

We don't use Cyrillic fonts in Lithuania.
we prefer international version of AC.

I tried to start a new project with standard AC14 template settings.

You said "it does seem to be a bug in need of reporting", I think so too
Lately I have a lot of bother with it. All my projects coming from AC13 files now need a lot of corrections
