Dimensions background

Bryszard — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 10:16:18 GMT

Hello, I'm having a problem with the dimension background. I want the hatch background to cover the hatch. Unfortunately, this can't be set, and the hatching under the dimension is still visible. I'm working in Creo 10.

there is dtl-option def_xhatch_break_around_text

set the option to yes

to do this

go in a drawing to File > Prepare > Drawing Properties > Detail Options

or edit your dtl-file in 3rd party text editor

the active dtl-file defined by the config file option drawing_setup_file

Hi,

create simple test model & drawing and try applying mentioned options. This test will show you whether this is a general error or an error tied to specific data.
