Can't you put all the "sometimes invisible" text on a layer and toggle that on and off as needed? I do that all the time with equipment diagrams now. One layer is the functional diagram, another maybe a schematic, another may have purchasing information or setup information on it. I turn them on an off as needed.
I also overlay scanned graphs and do the same. mike On 10/24/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm not sure if the following use case for why an 'invisble' text colour > is needed, but I have a vague memory that one was needed from a long time > back.
