I've used mtext and then exploded it to polygons for use on a mask writer that
doesn't accept anything but polylines. That worked great and looked really good.
So write your text using the normal text command, then in express tools (or
something similar) you can find text and choose explode and that will create
joined polygons from your text. Important is to not use the standard font as
that is only lines. I usually choose times new roman and that works like a
charm.

Subject: [mems-talk] TEXT in mask design

Could anyone suggest how to add text when drawing mask in autocad?

I just need numbers 0-9 without fine detail.

I used the text function in AutoCad, but when tranferring dxf to gds using
linkcad, the fine feature of text is explained in great details which increased
the file size to almost 100MB.
