place text on top of silkscreen area, to make the text non-silkscreen (show board)

i'm trying to create a large white silkcreen area on my pcb board (eg green soldermask), and want to place text on top of it- where the text shows the green soldermask. In other words, I am trying to expose the soldermask below the silkscreen. Trying to avoid importing an image of the text and want to use the text editor, or use the circle to keep out silkscreen from an area. Possible?

If you want an area of solid silkscreen with the text as a negative so that it creates an aperture in the silkscreen then i cannot see a way to do this using the PCB tools because there is no Exclusive OR graphical function to negate the text to make apertures in a Solid Region. If you were to create the region and text that you want in something like LibreOffice Draw then you could export it as an image in png or jpeg etc., and then import it in to the PCB maybe using the Negate function in the Import Image tool.

A thought. Try: Label Maker from the sticky forum post: [https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/Extension-User-Extensions-for-EasyEDA-Summary-9e065b68316f4491a3911dc6204be31e](https://easyeda.com/forum/topic/Extension-User-Extensions-for-EasyEDA-Summary-9e065b68316f4491a3911dc6204be31e)

Thanks Andy, used it! A little bit of a challenge to get the text to center etc... but able to get it to work.
