Background masking for 'Sizes' and 'Levels'

Implement a "Background Mask" option for these tools, something similar to the background mask property for dimensions.

I've asked before, along with others. A very worthwhile feature to add...

Does this exist now or do we just keep suggesting it until we are blue in the face?

Have you suggested it? If so, when and who to?

I am sorry for my previous post. I have not suggested it. I should have said "Why is there a post from 2010, that makes a great point about a topic that is useful for every user, that was never commented on or looked into by any Admin's or support personnel."

If you are using a Level/Size Block use a 3DFace to simulate a wipeout.

Forgoing the history and rhetoric I would like to plus one my desire for this feature. Should be included in the number tags as well.

What is everyone currently doing to get masks on their annotation?

I use Custom Blocks with 3DFACE under them and use them for SIZE, TAG and ELEVATION
