line overlaps

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 13:12:14 GMT

I would like the black cut wall lines to appear on Top of the blue cut window lines...it seems that chaning the display order of the walls doesn't help, and I guess you can't change the display order of the windows.
My plan for the cleanups is to do most all of it in AC, w/ sections and elevations drawns as "drawings" and not regenerated until I see fit...but for the Plans? Do I have to take it into PM and explode it? Other thoughts?

If you're printing those colours (or other colour variations) there's a problem, but if, like me and lots of others you have a range of pens that all print black (i use top line) it won't matter which colour is on top.

that's true; I have discovered that I can assign different colors in AC and PM, allowing me to view things in different colors (easier for me to track), and print in black, or white fill, or whatever. HOWEVER, i am interested in keeping the blue lines light--I don't just want a hairline, of solid black, I want a greyed-out, slightly dottty version of a line.
Other thoughts?

Ahhh. I don't know the answer then. You may get different results from different windows, and it may even differ to what you get in PM. What you see is not always what you get, unfortunately.

How about this part?
