      Of course, I changed OpenGL in SU. No effects.

        Did you try turning off Hardware Acceleration?

            just for testing: have you tried a different pdf-printer like bullzip? Also, the object behind the text wouldn't have opacity applied to it? If so, did you try different opacity settings in the style?

              I can print HLR PDFs using PDF995, without any graphic glitches...
              So it is probably either an issue with your PDF-maker or a Graphics Card issue ?

                I've noticed that it only happens with measurements which are aligned to dimension line.

                  Yes !

                  A break through...

                  I too confirm that only if the dim-text is 'aligned', then the HLR PDF shows a black rectangle.
                  Without the HLR setting they all print OK !

                            Camera set to Parallel Projection....default views (top/front/right..etc) gives expected results.
                            Perspective views not so much.

                              maybe its due to different gfx cards / gfx card settings / OS versions / ...?

                                  So maybe the issue is more with print drivers? I don't have a printer connected to my PC and the default "printer" is set as One Note.

                                      My WAG......Printing w/HLR yields a partially vector based file....no? (lines are vector...& text appears to be raster....to me anyway)

                                      I tested this using windows XPS writer.......which I am pretty sure saves as a .jpg or similar image file. (all raster)
                                      I do not have any other print driver installed to test further.

                                      Charlie

                                      PS:
                                      XPS Writer does not black out the text.

                                        Just following up........I looked to the Trimble SU........Knowledge center.......(search) HLR.

                                        As I suspected.......the HLR print (output) option is vector based output.

                                        So...somewhere......somehow.....the black dimension boxes are cause/effect of......??

                                        SU dimension text fails to convert/display as vector?

                                        User "success" in printing to HLR (w/o blacked out dimension text) .....most likely does not contain any vector based attributes. (IOW: print driver is really printing as .jpg/or other "image" file)

                                        I do not have an answer/solution.......but to say the HLR print option......when used with a vector capable print driver.......will unfortunately create the blacked out text/dims. as depicted above.

                                        Best,
