Turn on background masking for a set of Mtext entities.

Just as soon as we publish the very first .NET tip, here comes the second one! Also submitted by Andy Maser, this routine allows you to turn on background masking for a selection set of Mtext entities. To load a .NET routine, run the Netload command in AutoCAD and select the supplied DLL file. After it's loaded, you can run the routine by entering BGMASK at the Command prompt. Don't worry about having to choose individual Mtext entities; this routine filters your selection set so that only Mtext is included. When you are finished, the default background masking properties are then enabled for the objects selected.

This is a great timesaver! Is there any way to add Mleaders to the selection set? The mtext attached to mleaders is excluded by the filter in the routine.
