Covering Area and Box Size

Vertex G4: As a default, the size of the covering (hiding) area is larger for a dimension value than for text. See the image for a comparison.

• Normal dimension value with the covering property.
• Text with the covering property.

You can change the size of the covering area (hiding) and the frame. It can be defined with a keyword in the draft keyword group.

• The size of text covering (hiding) area and frame - textboxfactors.

  If you increase the keyword values, the sizes of the covering area and frame become larger.

  If you select Covering and Boxed or Oval in the text properties, the framed area determines the size of the covering area.

  f you wish the dimension value to be surrounded by smaller framing, decrease the values. If you wish the framing (box) to be very small, the minimum possible value is -0.1.
